That would amount to reading the FAQ of the list!  Talk about a "duh".  I have had LOTS of folks ask me about 
this very subject.  Especially when I tell them their logs are exposed to hacking.  Windows may not a decent 
logging platform, (*cough* - 'scuse me) but it is pervasive.  Folks are having a lot of mischeivious fun, and no 
one has a clue.  Put these logs on a central server, and at least they will have something they can trust!
