Replying to my own emails. Must be the first sign of madness...

Just today I had a bout of paranoia - wondering if the last email I
posted to this thread could be "misinterpreted". I try to deal with my
paranoia by going back and explaining my actions, if I felt that it
needed more explanation. Most people understand when I do this...

I'm sure a few of you took a double take when reading the message -
given that I pasted in IP addresses and MAC addresses.

Let me be clear right now: the IPs and MACs above are not from any
production network. They are from my internal home network. This might
not be clear because of the "10.41.61" subnet - at a quick glance, it
looks like an internet routable address.

I thought about it before I did it, and couldn't think of any way that
it could be used to crack into my home network (from the internet, at
least). Several days later, I can still not think of any way for that
information to be used to crack into my home network.

Sorry for the list noise... but I feel better now.

Thankyou,

Daniel Foote.
