As a relatively newcomer to these lists, I was wondering who is correct in their ideas? The guy who introduced his nifty "spider bot" or the guy telling us all that the other guy is breaking a law. I don't like getting mixed up in flamewars or even minor skirmishes, I just want to know what the moderator thinks about this and the ethical conditions that are touched... Also are these kinds of posts tolerated?
