You see, people are by design swine, selfish, and lazy, and they will ask
their question on 3 lists at the same time, and 10 times on each list, since
they want the answer, and they do not give a s... about other people, and
they are too lazy to RTFM. If you cannot punish people, they will abuse...
And nobody can punish the abusers, since nobody has authority to do it... 
This discussion comes cyclically to this list. It is like the recent
explosion of "ban the guns to be safe" in US because of terrorists.
We want to legislate  "goodness" and "compassion" and hope the SOBs will
listen. I would ban the box cutters first {:-)}. By making more rules
you only screw up good people. The bad people do not give a damn and will
do what they want -- they usually do not even read the rules.

You the "gentle" ones... Where the hell you live to believe in such things?
In heaven or something?
