The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Really! What concept of honesty and system of accountability are you defending? - Bill

My concept is most people are honest but there needs to be serious consequences for serious criminal behavior.

================

Or is it simply your position that anyone should be able to hack the system? - Bill

Of course not.
