Also it might be well pointed out that artists trying out "new things", especialy scripts, should best make a well visable post of such. With all the viruses and cr#* on the web today, even the slightest variation of the 'norm' could cause panic. Look at NStorm's infamous game Elf Bowling, they were actually put into Norton's code as a potential virus for a while two years ago simply because they came out with a new way for their players to interact their scores on line. (if your not familar with Elf Bowling, check out http://www.nstorm.com - very fun games & free too!) Also remember an earlier version of Spawn that was declaired to have a trojan. But in all fairness one must always be sure to contact the 'suspected carrier' first as to prevent panic and wrongful blame. Those who 'do not understand' tend to jump to conclusions and in some cases even "mobs".
