      He's not running code on my server.  The other machine's more than likely   
      infected or trying to infect mine with a glitch that only affects Microsoft   
      IIS.  I don't run IIS, I run Synchronet's web server only.  But his machine   
      effectively was doing the equivilent of pointing your web browser to a    
      non-existing path and pressing F5 (refresh) like 1000 times a second. The    
      URL was actually trying to be fetched so much that it couldn't display it   
      fast enough in the listbox!  It was the same URL over and over.  He didn't   
      infect me with nothing, but the repeated attempts caused it to bog my   
      computer down to a crawl.  I wished Synchronet had a thing to temporarly   
      ban the IP address after repeated non-existing URL's like the attempted    
      password hacking attempts.... If it did, the machine would auto-speed   
      up till the hacker or infected website gave up....
