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.
His ip traced to Romainia. I paid no attention to his domain name. Apparently you lept to that conclusion, but not I.
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 think you should apologise to this Romanian guy, really. And, people, please - stop things like these on this list - forever.
Grow up. How ELSE do you educate people that it is NOT ok to set up systems for clandestine spying on computer users. It's morally repugnant, dishonest and (in many countries) totally illegal. Your defense of that practice is shocking. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
