With all respect, Neal, that's not a good analogy at all. Terrorists bombing a car lot is simply without precedent. People stealing or vandalizing cars on a lot is COMMON. DDOS attacks are COMMON. Other game servers have also been attacked, and any competent network admin would know this.

The analogy of an unsecured, or poorly secured lot in in fact demonstrably true, as last weekend demonstrates clearly.

Again, if you want an analogy, you cannot cite some extremely unlikely event that disrupts service, you need to pick a COMMON event that disrupts service since DOS attacks are COMMON.
