There are a lot of smart-alecs out there who are comparing a binaries
group to having promiscous sex.  I personally would rather consider it to
be similar to a public library - someone can certainly put a book in the
library that contains lies and could cause me to bring a lot of harm upon
myself if I were not careful enough.  But if I do my research, then I can
use the books without fear of legal litigation.

Lets drop these aids analogies - computer crashing is caused by a deliberate
attempt to harm someone else - by someone who has so little consience
that they write a program to try to trash someone elses computer.  AIDS is
a diease whose cause is not known, but it is doubtful that it is a genetically
engineered virus created to cause the death of hundreds of thousands of
people just for the fun of it.
