People,
This my first post on this list, and I am very disappointed that I am chiming into this kind of conversation. This will be my only post on this subject and I think I can make myself very clear.

I don't think ranting is a good counter-attack on ranting. I mean, if you don't like the attitude, don't act in the same manner.
Sure, assuming that one is writing malware, just because he/she wants to empty the trash programatically, is kind of stupid and paranoid.
But I agree with Kyle when he talks about "the kind [of people] who take the time to hang out here". People have no obligation to answer questions. And people asking questions should be clear, because time is valuable for everybody. Period.
Cheers,
Flavio
