It seems to me you'd have to at least consider the possibility of illegal intent and there's no way to tell on Usenet if you're being told the truth or a story, is there? No, there's no way to prove anyone else's intentions, on Usenet or in the real world. So does one walk around assuming everyone else is a criminal? No, but one should consider the possibility. so, for those whose first impression is that everyone else is a criminal, how should one deal with the OP's request? Certainly not provide the requested advice. That won't do! Remain silent (i.e., just don't reply)? For the busy-body sorts, that won't do either! The obvious answer is to become a net-nanny! How silly of me not to have realized that. How silly of you to have posted the above idiocy. The sensible response would be to tell the OP to contact a local computer shop who can send someone on site, verify the legitimacy of the request and act accordingly. -- David R. Norton MVP |
