Well, no offense ment, but there are many people posting questions to this list, and some of them aren't aware of potential security problems of actions they want to perform. So generally if a question with a potential harmfull consequence is asked people are told of these fact, because noone here on this list can guess if it is known, or not. Wouldn't it have been easier for you to tell people on this list that you are aware of the problems? I mean, instead of getting rude?
