Cars kill millions of people every year. Fortunately we don't HAVE TO use
them.
Electricity can kill you. Fortunately, you don't HAVE TO use it.
Sysadmins can often attack the very users they are trying to help.
Fortunately, you don't HAVE TO... um, nevermind.
Life is all about risk management, trading off perceived benefits for
possible threats. I don't have to use E-Trade, but I can't bear the
thought of dealing with a broker every time I want to trade a stock. The
perceived benefit for me far outweighs the possible risk.
I hate going back and forth with you guys, because you ARE RIGHT. I
completely agree with you (and Kenny). I just feel I should point out your
tolerance level for risk may not be the same as someone else. As you said
"it's your choice".
