Any thoughts are welcomed 
(preferably on the site so everyone can see them)
No this is different to the other pathces.
Please read the article before commenting, im getting alot of useless comments =p
1) This method is very dodgy and works only on YOUR OWN computer.
2) The file will not work on your contact's computer at all. In fact, your contact will seriously be confused on what to do with that extension.
3) Not all filenames you send are executables, thus not all filenames should be renamed to exe...
4) Since it involves renaming the executable, you might as well rename the file to something your contacts understand by simply adding something (so he can rename the file back with the correct extension) eg: "blahblah.exe.removethis"
5) Since it always involve an action to be taken prior to sending the file (renaming it to exe2), you might as well zip the file first. Archived files are not blocked _and_ are much smaller in filesize.
All in all: useless dodgy method...
Your blog/site has serious errors. When posting a comment it sends it 3 times. The voting system is also dodgy, as people may not select the appropiate vote when making a comment, and since 10 is the default setting this may be wrong and not reflect what the poster wanted. Make a seperate 'submit' button for that!
