Well, I knew about it, so did all the other admins I know personally. And I
have a default deny rule on my firewall, so even if I didn't, it wouldn't
have mattered as there's no reason to have SQL monitor open.

Just typical of today's "blame someone sale" culture. Ooooh, I'm an idiot
who spilled hot coffee on my leg, I'd better sue the cup manufacturer.

It's Darwin award time!
