RE: Does a rhetorical question need a '?'

[Lori Olcott <lori_olcott -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Is that necessarily a distraction, though?  A question is intended to get
a person to think about what was just stated.  By phrasing your idea as a
rhetorical question, you are inviting the reader to consider other
security risks.  Giving the reader a moment to pause and think will bring
them further into your subject and make them active, rather than passive,
readers.  Is that a bad thing? ;)
