The thread starts out with the post below and ends up talking about 
driving and firearms? Everybody on this thread in the same drinking 
party except me? Wow! Talk about running amuck!

So if I see a software bug should I put my seat belt on before I run it 
over with my car or should I just pull out my .45 cal pistol and shoot 
it?

Advocates utilizing the open shares for extra disk space "...because
it's there".

My biggest concern is that it utilizes a newsgroup repository to collect
and dissemenate IP addresses with known open shares.  Others (including
automated worms) could easily leverage this data, facilitating system
compromises.


Expect an increase in Netbios scans over the coming days....sigh.
