Editing the contents of a .htm(l) without permission of the owner (alledged publisher) can do any sort of harm. Imagine the reaction if the Vatican Home Page suddenly contained a statement like 'Woytola just spoke to God. The Allmighty has changed her mind: Contraception and Divorce are hereby sanctioned by the Divine Catholic Throne'. Even changing a single ascii character can raise HELL. The biggest telco in Sweden, TELIA (formerly the State Monopoly and still a subject for 2600-type teenager scorn) recently involuntarily had their main home-page logo changed to FELIA - which in Swedish is an allegory of 'wrong', as if PACIFIC BELL would have become PACIFIC HELL. This was major news for all media including prime time TV and very bad publicity for the telco, securitywize. Asgaard
