mnealtx 0 #26 February 27, 2006 I did read the thread, and your comment - "right" or "wrong" has nothing to do with it - MSN messenger is, in essence, the private property of Microsoft and they can do as they wish with it. You, of course, have the option of not using it.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If a warning saying "This link can contain a computer virus, you must NOT click it unless you are 100% sure of what you are doing" does not help, well then you have done all you could. Even a bad lawyer could make a good case that you have not done all that you could. I have seen this with my own two eyes. If you really understood the current legal climate, you would understand why it has become necessary to do such things. The "current legal climate" is a bad thing. Catering to it by having everyone do these bullshit "cover-your-ass" measures (even when they are intrusive or abusive) is a bad thing. How will this bad current legal climate get rectified if instead of standing up against it, we as a society keep running scared before it? --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

I'll put you into that group then. You'll put me into that group? What if I don't wanna be in that group? --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"
