["Navroz Shariff" <nshariff () americanbible org>]

Interesting...the original inquirer hasn't replied in his defense.

I would tend to agree with that statement.  members of this list no idea
if the the individual posing the question has nefarious intentions, or
not.

No disrespect to the original poster of the question to the list, or the
moderator for that matter, in extremely paranoid times these days,
simply uttering the wrong word in public (within the context of a
sentence) can get you a one-way ticket into jail these!  So...take
things a down a few notches and remember that hacking these days, esp.
in the eyes of our governments (federal, state, local), not to mention
Corporate America, views it as a form of "cyberterrorism" -- first and
foremost -- BEFORE they would ever consider it NOT to (OK...that sounded
way too circular, but if you read it carefully, you'll understand what
I'm trying to convey) be labelled as "cyberterrorism".

In my defense (as a form of disclaimation), the requesting individual
mentioned the word "/webblaze", and I simply looked it up on Google --
nothing more.  I have not mentioned any methods of attack, or how he
should go about attempting a penetration into that server.  That is left
entirely up to that individual.  ;)
