I must agree. my problem is that I really see a difference between a
definitive act (destroying data) and a temporary act (disabling a
program).

This is not the same as destroying data. My main problem in this
discussion is all those accusation saying that Ruediger will destroy
data. There is noting implying this in anything he have said or
done. I don't care so much for all the rest, but this kind slander
bother me.
