In article <[email protected]>, Terry Baranski <[email protected]> writes Society as a whole could benefit from people taking more responsibility for themselves -- the Internet doesn't seem any different in this regard.Which is fine (some would argue) as long as their irresponsibility affects only them, and not the rest of society. As for this business of "opening" (aka executing etc) files which users have been sent.
