[Javascript] (no subject)

[Peter Brunone]

	Some call it a troll, others call it spam... but whatever you call it,
don't encourage it.

	These things are like your teeth; ignore them and they'll go away (but
banning the originating address doesn't hurt either).

:-D

|Why are you on a mailing list like this? The purpose is to share
|information, not say "I know the answer, but you have to make it
|worth my while."
|
|First, calling somene else stupid, espeically without showing what he
|may or may not have said, is pretty immature.
|
|Second, doing what this person wants to do would essentially allow
|someone to post malicious code on a web site, and bypass any modicum
|of security that the browser provides.

|Internet, you can't be sure that any user has the particular software
|package that you want them to open the file with.
