I totally agree with 'The Clone', why bust the ones that make us realise the threats ? While they are in jail for your idiotic statements, hackers and other malicious users can get into private systems with sensitive information. I dont think you have enough experience with break-ins and the damage a stupid script kiddie can do to your machine. These are the people that keep us informed about the problems we should consider looking on our systems, we are not full time 'watchers', someone has to be our 'crontab' in this chaos of vulnerabilities. Bottom line is: _dont_ put the only people that can help us, in a place where their hands are tight. Use their knowledge for our benefit.
