By Jove you've got it old man! Looking objectively at Black Friday as I do from up here in Canada (our Thanksgiving is spent in mid October mostly eating Turkey -- no shopping).

Agreed. And how about taking it one step further: Have Apache coders write the module that refuses to start the server if root password(s) are default. Period.
There, that should help.
