Is there a legitimate reason why you wouldn't want the local desktop user to know you're spying on him?
Yes! There is!
When posting from a country with the history your's has exhibited, and which apparently has very lax privacy laws, you should not expect too many people rushing to help you. This is sort of repugnant to most people who are in the free software arena.
-- Is there a legitimate reason why you wouldn't help a suse user who lives in a country like Romania, just because of that fact? Do you think it's all right to discriminate people based on their country of origin? Or, just based on the country's _history_, if that's any better? Or, last but not least, based just on the domain name suffix, for the matter of fact.
You know that the .ro extension in the domain name does not mean that the user is Romanian, don't you? How about the domain like "homeip.net", for example? What country is that, and what kind of history has it exhibited? I don't know about privacy laws in Romania, but am an expert in history (I read magazines and watch TV). I remember all the horror stories about Romanian terror against native Indian tribes and about enslaving African Negro people in the past and keeping them in ghettos in present. Also, this terrible Romanian intervention in the Middle East that happened recently with such an untrue excuse. Sure, all this is not a kind of history to be proud of, but I don't think the particular guy really has anything to do with it. He just asked something about VNC as far as I understand. And this *is* a kind of list for asking such kind of questions. I think you should apologise to this Romanian guy, really. And, people, please - stop things like these on this list - forever. Sorry for the irony, but I couldn't resist. I'll shut up now. Best regards, cikasole
