Oh I wasn't intending to inflame, intimidate or otherwise hammer you. In
fact, I made allowances, statements of understanding that people come to
the Internet and learn. They don't get here informed at all. But that
condition, hopefully, is temporary. So, in that respect, we're all
self-taught. I came here more poorly prepared than you more than ten
years ago. The stakes for being ignorant weren't nearly so high then.
But, show a repeated pattern of behavior that winds up abusing other
systems, well, don't be surprised if the hammer drops. And realize (you
already have) that there is a responsibility. In the meantime, don't be
surprised is some things are on by default to protect you and others.
Don't be surprised if this function or that has been hobbled to plug a
hole until a better answer comes.
And don't be afraid to take some responsibility!<g>
BTW, that protect you from yourself stuff rubs me the wrong way, too.
But, can you believe it?, 10 years ago these PCs were so poorly prepared
for people that it was a rare user who didn't destroy his/her system in
the first week by simply installing a game (uh, well, IBM PC users had
this problem. The Mac, Amigas and Atari systems were largely immune to
this).
I apologize if I was offensive. I was merely trying to communicate a
weakness in the logic you are using. That's all!
