Hi John,
    If I understand correctly you're saying that for someone with my
limited knowledge and abilities, this is an exercise in futility since
most IP addresses I collect will not be those of hackers but rather
of those already hacked.
    Since you've brought that idea to my attention it makes sense to
me but is somewhat depressing.
Oh well, knowledge is power.
Thank you for enlightening me.
Mike
