The vendor's responsibility is to provide tools and documentation. Neither you nor my vendors understand my particular requirements and circumstances, and lacking that information you are poorly qualified to judge." I'm sorry for my overreaction, but the issue is quite sensitive to me due its analogy to other things happening all over the world (and touching me) - "for our safety" this really does not belong on this list; but my will is weak and I couldn't resist to react when the original writer was told not to use GUI as root at all ...
