Not dumb or dangerous, in my opinion, unless you were running in full stealth mode to begin with.



That's the problem, Peter! I was running in full stealth, which apparently did not allow me to post on many forums. I could, of course, read everything with no problem; but posting always hung and timed-out. I don't exactly remember whether the Axiom message boards were one of the problematic ones, but I am positive that I couldn't post to the AVSforum.

Could somebody positively confirm that you can post to the AVSforum with a full-stealth setup?
