 My main point to
Tim was that he wanted to know why some people drop them.

I'm still waiting for my unsubscribe to kick in... to be clear, I did
not ask this.  I did not ask why people would drop them--I know good
reasons why and bad reasons why.  I was asking why people believed this
was a good reason--in regards to script kiddies.  Obviously we don't
agree about it being a good reason or not, but not for the sake that I
was not aware of the reasons (be them good or bad)--just wanting to know
if the people that did this really knew why they were.
