Just so that it's crystal clear to all concerned:
Discussion of illegal activities is off topic on _all_ FreeBSD lists,
whether those activities are real or imagined, and it is likely to
have you barred from using lists.
I know you were only joking, Yuri, but you are trying to get others to
believe you and join in, maybe argue with you. That probably seems like
fun but it's trolling, and trolling is simply not on. Please don't do
it any more. We don't want to lose you!
It is extremely rare for people to be kicked off the lists, but
last time it happened it was for these kinds of reasons, and it
happened here.
So here's a newbie exercise in becoming troll-proof: Don't let this
guy entice you into behaving in a manner that you normally wouldn't.
That's how a troll gets cheap thrills at other people's expense.
Reply, and they get worse. What they can't stand is to be ignored.
On other FreeBSD lists you'll be expected to know this already.
