I checked the logs. First one was from a Korean business site at 22:30 
on 1 August (I'm at GMT+1000). Between then and when I posted the 
message to the list I had 52 entries, many with almost untraceable 
IP's.

Yeah, I read up on all this last night before I hit the sack. 
Fascinating.

I've only just got through the other one, where some bozo at my ISP 
kept sending me private information automatically, three times an hour. 
I had to specifically tell him to disconnect his computer from the 'net 
and contact the helpdesk.
