Thank you! Feel free to cite this post in any way you enjoy. I have thoroughly enjoyed writing it. I don't think programmers are any more inclined towards destructive behaviour than anyone else. It's just that the appeal of destroying virtual things is the ability to repeat the experience at will and in great detail. The trouble with destroying real things is the safe distance one has to keep, which takes all the fun away, so making it an entirely pointless exercise of the imagination. As to the "wrong hands", in this particular instance they would be the hands of someone you already trust, which would make them the "right hands", wouldn't it? Oh, I'm all morally confused now! :) Hi Ryan!
