Well Joshua, don't take it personally, its just that there has been a lot of
problems with Korean hack attempts on my servers and many others on the list
here. In fact, probably better than 2/3 of the attempts on my system (which
average 2-3 a day, minimum) originate from Korea.

Further, my clients have virtually no international dealings, and
essentially could care less if anyone outside the US can reach them at all -
they have a localized clientele. And I specialize in particualr types of
clients - I am not a "public" web host provider.

My clients require good secure servers, with few problems. Killing off
entire countries is a fairly easy way to limit the abuse my systems must
endure. Frankly, I am ready to add Italy, Japan, China, Germany and others
to the list too..

Take care,

Rick
