Exactly. You may have never seen, used or owned a gun in your life, but
you
are probably able to go buy one. Once you do buy one, how it is handled
and
what you do with it is YOUR responsibility. The training is widely
available
to you, it is YOUR responsibility to get that training. YOU are
accountable
for what YOU do with that gun. Same as your computer.
Correct. *You* are responsible for what *You* do with the gun(computer). That shouldn't be extrapolated into what *others* do with your gun(computer) without your consent. Are you held responsible for robbery if someone steals your gun and then commits a robbery with it, just because you left it lying on your desk inside your house? What about a BOT running on your computer participating in a DDoS (or as a keylogger gathering your personal information)? It's a gray area when it's not *you* explicity doing something. _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
