A formoer co-worker of mine started up his own ISP a few years ago.  I

have never been impressed with this man's integrity, so it gives me the

absolute willies to think about trusting my data to him.  Unfortunately,

their are people like him all over the net, and the policing is awfully

sparse.

This makes sense, but would a company use this fellow as an ISP? Would
they be that silly?  As to private individuals in the ISP's area that
might send out credit card orders...  well, after a few extra charges by
him and his cronies to ISP customers the fraud people would have ferreted
out his operation and he'd be among those caught.

I believe it is important that be wise, yes, but not be leery.  As to the
earlier comment of random packets; I have never received a packet not sent
to me, at least I didn't recognise it as such.  Even if I did, I doubt I
could read the card number and the expiration date and the name.  Add in
the requirement that this rare occurrance has to actually happen in front
of a dishonest person and you have a concern not worth the worry.
