Good idea, but what do we do with the 187 Gb of porn that would be 
loaded onto that machine by the time we woke up the next morning?

Passwords are rather weak, and src based ident + passwords would still 
fail because I'm on verizon.net dsl, and you'll never be able to 
associate my reverse lookup as actually being me for more than a 
session at a time due to routing changes etc that are a daily 
occurrance for me, even if my IP addy is stable for a week or more at 
a time.

Don't get me wrong, such a site would be at least as usefull as 
bottled beer.  But the devil IS in the details.
