please, i know you've been here long enough to see people with malicious
intent ask for malware... it's not often that they're bold/stupid enough
to admit their true malicious intentions, but it does happen...

but to play to your argument, i suppose you think all malicious people
use search engines instead of asking directly... what might a search
engine turn up? why how about usenet posts with links to malware samples...

plus, malicious activity is only half of what i was warning about...
