Hi,

Quoting John Paul (jpaul () kormanmarketing com):
By this line of logic you would feel it is acceptable for others to
exploit things to gain access to your systems as long as they don't
change anything, correct?
It is.
I _appreciate_ it when people do this.
The only thing i ask is that they don't change stuff, keep their ethics in
line (no mail-reading etc.), and at least do their best to notify me.
Why would i want to stop someone from trying to gain access ? The only thing
that can happen is somebody who finds a hole. If i keep an open policy about
stuff like that, chances are the people who find the hole will be open about
that too.

Greets,
        Robert
