Nope, we can't blame the compiler creators (aka scripting engine), we wont do that either. We blame the virus creators (aka the scripters)....
If you want to use such a comparisson then it should be: you are the programmer (the virus writer) using a scripting engine (the c compiler) and you can be blamed for the script (the virus) you created by the admins of this forum (the companies that get damage by the virus).
AW well , that to is faulty as my intention as said was to set the interval to some harmless frequency , so as such the script I would make would not be harmful in itself, but would have the potential to be harmful.
Mind you I can be doing without winding people up the wrong way or causing trouble
I'd either not make it , or maybe I'd put the scraping functions and frequency limiters in a dll somehow
Polling a mail address is a useful idea , but not robust as I would like for general use on forum sites that don't offer that sort of functionality.
