	So far, I suspect the assorted flames and rants and speculation
about SATAN have already consumed more bandwidth in this mailing list
alone than actually running the damn thing will do to the network.
Call it denial of service if you will, but SATAN and worrying about
SATAN has taken up a heck of a lot of peoples' time already. If that's
not denial of service, what is? :)
