This is the best argument to date.  I agree with the rest of the idea of 
practicing safe networking no matter the perceived threat.  The fact 
that being able to practice safely is easier than ever, there is no 
excuse not to use the technology.  Further up thread someone mentioned 
that no providers provide ssh; mine does (bluehost) once you set it up 
and send a copy of your ID.  For the few minutes it takes to set up 
security the peace of mind is worth it.
