now hold on a second... we've seen this in use before by attackers. "but
it said 'welcome!' and there was no statement about 'don't misuse this!'"
and it didn't fly with them, so why the heck should it fly with an admin?

it doesn't. clear and simple.

this does NOT excuse admins from sites/systems in NOT setting up such a
banner that clearly states acceptable use only by authorized individuals,
prosecution, etc... it's good practice.

but your line of reasoning really fails here.
