*smile* I /love/ how willing we are all to help.Okay, what do you all get when you type this one: put shell("[dangerous command line deleted]) into field "gotcha" (I know that's got a syntax error and is not quite the right command to erase the hard drive on MacOS, but I daren't put the whole thing lest someone try it.) *evil grin*
On the Ubuntu forums they have a policy against posting destructive command lines. First offense get a post deleted with a warning to the author; second offense bans the author.
This is done to protect newcomers, to ensure that the Ubuntu forums are a safe place for people to get support.
I appreciate the good humor here and that you intentionally wrote it with a syntax error to prevent execution.
Just the same, this seems a good opportunity to offer a gentle reminder that we have members here with a wide range of experience, and we want this to be a safe and friendly place for all of them to get help.
