No.

I mean that you keep presuming that we're discussing intruders which implies guilt, but when viewed in a more realistic context, as requesters, your comments about liability aren't relevant.

Nobody is at fault for simply asking for a document in the real world and nobody should be online.



It's a little discourteous to jump into the middle of someone else's discussion and attempt to alter the premise. Reply somewhere else if you'd like to have a different discussion. Thanks!


Hah, HN police. It's my thread, look up. But I magnanimously grant you the right to post in it. You're welcome!

You're the one trying to move the goalposts and alter premises. You reframe everything in a violent physical metaphor even though you've been around long enough to know that it's the least useful thing to compare information to. I can't copy a house by looking at it so it's a crappy analogy for a website.

There's a world of difference between asking for a document and opening a door and taking it.


This comment confirms my suspicion that discussing this issue with you is likely to be unproductive for both of us.
