...or smmta.  It'll take some time to be 100% sure about that, but that
was one of the first things I thought of as I was reading the ISS

of scaring customers into coughing up dough, but I still think it's
fairly tacky to try and paint every hole as if it's exploitation were
always a worst-case scenario.
