This is just to point out the fact that applescript can be used in a
malicious manner or used inappropiately. I have a right to post this
whether you agree with it or not. Whether you like it or not. If you
don't agree with it, then don't read it and move on as you would put
it.
thx

And this has what to do, exactly, with AppleScript, other than using
AppleScript as part of its execution?
The issue has been well publicized in the press and online (heck, even
some
PC-oriented publications have picked up on it since it diverts
attention
from certain other less-than-secure OSes).
This issue does not need to be spammed to every Macintosh-related list
in
the world and it does not have anything to do with the charter of this
list.
If this were the Mac OS X Protocol Handler Implementers list I might
agree
it was relevant, but it isn't.
Move along.
