This reminds me of something that happened over a dozen years ago, when 
I was doing tech support for an ISP.  I took a call from a man who 
wanted to know if he could use Windows Personal Webserver to host a 
website from his home computer.  Now, to me at least, the answer was 
obvious but it was also clear that if the caller had to ask, he probably 
wasn't ready to be doing it.  Instead of just answering his question, I 
tried to start out by advising him of the hazards involved.

"Don't tell me about what can go wrong," he told me.  "I can find that 
out for myself by doing it.  Just tell me if it's possible."

After a moment's thought, I did what was possibly the nastiest, cruelest 
thing I ever did as a tech support rep: I told him that he could do what 
he wanted, wished him a good day and ended the call.
