>Ok, at the risk of starting an endless discussion <g>, is there truly any line you would not cross? If someone held your daughter captive and said they'd release her if you killed someone, would you? If they wanted you to kill 2 people, 5 people, 10 people? I think there are lines that I would not cross, but they'd have to be extreme lines such as the example I present here. I'm not sure I could visit horrors upon others to save even my own child's life.

Well, for me, it depends on whether the 10 people are VB developers or DBAs... <vbg>
