Arlen, you get it wrong, as usual. We are not afraid of the people we 
live with, but of the strangers that may pass by one day, and of those 
on the cloud.

Surely you lock your car on the street in NY, or your house door on a city.

You don't have to ask. You just find out by looking at your computer 
and/or your router, or your phone.

If the internet address on your router, or your internet facing machine, 
is a private address, like 10.*.*.*, you are on GNAT.

That's a secondary effect, not the reason.
