It would only be paranoid to lock something that no one was trying
to break into. Likewise, it would be extremely foolish NOT to lock
something which countless numbers of people are dedicated to breaking
into. Such as our home computers. Especially those on DSL, cable, etc.
which are so easy to take over to use for spewing SPAM.
Unfortunately, MANY people, including some who ought to know better,
simply refuse to believe that THEY are part of the problem, and refuse
to install firewalls, change browsers or e-mail clients, etc. I have
given up even talking to such people. Hopefully, their ISP's will
shut them off someday, and the internet will be more useful.
