Good Reply. Shawn, you're too wrapped up in your petty analogies to see a simple reality here. if you're a system administrator and you leave your system open and it gets infected, wouldn't you be GLAD of the help provided by someone else in shutting down the process for you? even if you are selfish enough not to give a damn about the potential damage your system is causing to others, I for one would be extremely glad of having this kind of thig stopped on my system simply because of the bandwidth it is using up, all of which costs me money. one simple code, a quick restart, and a message saying what's happened is for me (and I think any sensible person would agree) a perfectly reasonable price to prevent your own machine from damaging others' as well as using recources I dont want used.
