As far as I can tell, no executions took place. Yet :)
As far as I can tell, both sides of the issue SHOULD be pointed out and HAVE been pointed out, and nobody in this list has been PREVENTED from offering help. No, everyone just decided to tell everyone else that the topic was not to be discussed as the guy was from Romania.
I'm rather impressed that the VAST majority of this list has chosen NOT to offer help, but that's just MY opinion. I fully agree, however it is a pity as one day one of the other condemners might need to do a similar task legitimately. God help him if he asks the question here as opposed to be told we would not answer it and that it should rather be asked on a hacking list.
I would like to ask the original Romanian poster if he ever found a solution and if so to please contact me off list.
But now, let't take YOUR position, which seems to be that regardless of the intended use, help should be offered in the spirit of cooperation for any question asked by anyone who knows the answer, with no regard for what the requester intended to do.
Tell me Mr Hylton Conacher: How would one go about flying an airplane full of people into a building full of people? Mr John Andersen, I believe this type of question is not relevant as a topic within this list and therefore I cannot answer it. Please feel free to pose the question on another list catering for what you want to do.
Ok, perhaps that's over the top. But I'm sure you get my drift. Yes it is a LITTLE over the top! Note my response to your query however.
