But that is exactly the main question. Your analogy does not match the
original situation.

This is equivalent to :

bank's
> > safe
[then you use the client portion of BO (to get around the firewall) -
implicit in Jeff's suggestion]
is equivalent to
then YOU go to rob that bank ;
which lead to the conclusion :
yes YOU are culpable of robbed a bank
It seems to me not at all

Yes , but as I shown above this does not complies with Jeff's suggestion
since it is not the Sys Admin who will
use the client portion of BO. If a third person do use the client portion ,
the conspiracy issue arises[which , of course , must be proven] , but this
was not been considered in the original situation.
Anyway , I am sorry that what should be a joke led us to this situation ;
probably we misunderstand each other...

I would like to apologize to this list's posters for this reply ; I would
like also to thank all of you that usually do care with someone posts ,
despite the subject's significance. I finish here my participation on this
thread.
