So instead of being annoyed I am going a different direction:

You have the luxury of seeing today the exact use of the technology and the ramifications of - and I will say this clearly - the misuse of this technology.

I greatly appreciate his enthusiasm, energy and appetite for learning. If he is wanting to understand, it would be best for him to ask questions and apply his obvious enthusiasm and energy towards attempting to follow the advice given.

It is stating the obvious that it is not appropriate for anyone to make pronouncements and recommendations in this forum that cannot be backed up with a solid foundation of knowledge. Quite a few of his suggestions,in this thread and others, could have caused harm or danger to others who might not know better. I can understand why some other forum members are wondering if he is a troll.
