The users question was answered but I dont think we can assume that ppl asking about certain things already know the dangers or issues surrounding it (such as legal/illegal, being against AUP or TOS, trojans etc). In fact, when a user doesnt understand about channels being set to invite, i cant help but lean towards the opinion that they are new (no offense to the original poster, we were all new once and none of us know everything). I think its only fair to give further information even tho they didnt ask specifically when not knowing is so risky. As you said, its up to them what they do with that info. imo, i think its worth taking the time to type a bit more info to be sure they know about potentially harmful issues. If they know and dont care, so we've got a bit more wear on our keyboards, no biggie. If they DIDNT know, then they now do, which i think is important. Keep in mind that while we see the same things over and over, most of the ppl who post questions here dont, so its likely new to them
