Hmmph. See other mail about the reason for being in ProgSoc. I assume that
we're not all a bunch of newbie hackers - if we were and we tried this stuff,
we'd get caught. Examples of this can be found everywhere - like the guy
who thought he'd check if sequoia still had the sendmail bug, etc etc etc.
This statement is totally stupid (especially so in this context).

You are totally missing the point.

"Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by
legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being
stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence
is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out
automatically and without pity."
