Well, yes, probably there is, but they're mostly doing time in a
Federal Pen here in the US for "hacking" or "writing virus". (g)

After all, if I have your "my wife's cousin's boss's dog's
mother's owner's best friend's daughter"'s name in my database, I
don't need the 6 degrees. So, the program would have to "import"
the address book and data files of every other computer in the
chain or it wouldn't find the link; and by extrapolation, it
needs to import all that from every other computer in the
universe, to find all the possible 6 degrees. Ever so NOT the
done thing. (g)
