The same can be said of ANY programming language from AppleScript to
Assembly and all levels in between.
The implication that AppleScript somehow makes this worse or better of an
exploit is incorrect. Applescript is a programming language, and as such is
precisely as dangerous as the person using it. ObjC is quite dangerous in
the wrong hands, as is a good assembler.
Your 'rights' have nothing to do with anything, and speaking pedantically,
on a private list, you have no rights other than what the list management
chooses to give you. That's just communication noise.
I'm just glad that the list serv stripped out the four image attachements
that you felt everyone on this list needed to download and view.
