fair enough.

although the apparent goal of a hack can also be an obfuscation of the true goal which may be more worthy of expense.

whatever though. i accept the community feels I'm overreacting.

fwiw I've always avoided .exe in torrents. maybe why i thought that was a basic b level safety warning.
