This encouraged me to look at my router security alert logs for all  
port 6882 activity (not that this port alone warrants inspection)  
since I bought the router some years ago.

It's possible to spend weeks sifting through the data, and would keep  
someone amused for a long time, if they needed that level of amusement  
or interest.

But sadly, I'm more interested in knowing why Kim knows about the PI  
firm that works for the RIAA...
