Whoh, Hey.....
All I'm saying is that if people want post non-technical, general,
discussion type items, then maybe the "list admin" or someone should start a
separate list for such posts. IMHO, it seems there are two complete and
separate types of issues. The two have distinctly different threads of
interest and should be separate.
The 'ethical considerations' of installing the type of software such as VNC
are much more general (or specific) than that which, again in my humble
opinion, belong in a list such as this.
...and that's all I have to say about that...

The way I see it, this list is for anything concerning VNC, whether it be
the ethical considerations faced by installing a program that lets you
remotely access a computer, or the technical functionality of VNC. It is
all to do with VNC and so to me seems perfectly relevant to this list.
I don't know where you get off thinking you can tell people what to post to
the list, I don't see anything saying "list admin" in your name, or "VNC
technical supervisor". I haven't seen a single complaint from anybody of
"authority" (by authority I mean a list admin or moderator) compalining
about "These *ethical* and *hypothetical* posts" that you only seem to think
have no place on this list.
