Glad that we agree on that.

Well, if someone feel threatened by the French Penal Code, it's an
issue on his side.

Fact is there many differents tools that could be used to harass
people, fact is we could restrict technically these tools, but by Law
there are already restricted. So suggesting to restrict them
technically means bringing evidence that the nuisance caused by the
restriction to legitimate usage will be lighter than than the actual
nuisance caused by the unlegitimate, outlaw, usage.

For instance, you could as well demonstrate that most GNU/Linux
systems are flawed since anyone can type on a terminal:

for i in `seq 1 4000`; do mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] < mynuisancefile ; done 

Try it, you'll see that you'll flood someone quite fast. Indeed, it
will easy to find the source of the trouble. Just like in the case of
you wget command related to Savane.

But if you really insist in saying there's a flood issue in Savane,
Gmail etc, you should really insist there's a flood issue in the mail
command shipped with GNU/Linux and with most mail clients out there
that expect users to behave.


> Sorry, I will not bother you again.

Thanks a lot.

I dont mind if you send plenty of reports about Savane being flawed
because it actually does what we want him to do, like a phone does not
technically forbid someone to flood someone else (which is also
something incriminated by the French Penal Code, by the way).

The annoying part is only the fact that you demonstration involve a
public server and I'm glad you agree it should be avoided.


Regards,
