Of course, this will stop people from rifling through the code.  If these laws were that easy to govern,
nobody would have gained the code in the first place.

However ignorant it is to request the code in a public forum, such as this, it's even worse that threads like
these keep being repeated and repeated everytime a new vuln, virus, worm, commercial code, etc becomes public.  

It should be obvious that they're not going to get the code from here, which in turn should suffice to not
ellicit a response from a couple hundred people saying "you are dumb" or "wtf are you thinking".  Just ignore
it and move along so that others who enjoy this list don't have to grind through all this drivel throughout
the day.

Just my $0.2.  Not flames requested nor acknowledged.

        Nathan
