| Aug 17, 2011 at 9:45 | comment | added | Randolf Richardson | I think that responding to both audiences is quite good, but not required. Basically, the choice is yours, but I don't see any reason to limit to just one audience if you have the time to address more since this will make your Answer or Question more useful to a wider audience. Keep up the great work, @soandos! | |
| Aug 16, 2011 at 22:55 | comment | added | barlop | I think this note is useful and I would rather it not be removed. "Now that all the comments explaining the note have gone.. It should be noted that that note was put there for users that aren't aware that executable files can contain malicious code. That is why one user that said it was a bad security practice to disable it, when asked, said he had himself disabled it. And that's why soandos had said it is useful but when asked, said it's not useful to him. I point that out now so people better understand the note soandos made" I don't think anybody disagrees with it. | |

| Aug 16, 2011 at 22:07 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | @soandos I meant that would be a reference to pass on to Barlop - he was the one being disrespectful. | |
| Aug 16, 2011 at 21:22 | comment | added | Breakthrough | @soandos I totally agree with you, barlop is way out of line there. We don't want to promote bad security practices here on SuperUser, but we should equally embrace how to overcome these security features if need be. At the end of the day, while it is the end user's responsibility, but they should at least be informed about the potential risks. I rolled back the post to include your warning, because I feel it is very valid and should definitely be included in the answer. | |

| Aug 16, 2011 at 20:35 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | As a quick reference, the faq says, "Be nice. Treat others with the same respect you’d want them to treat you. We’re all here to learn together. Be tolerant of others who may not know everything you know." | |
