Well, if you're emphasizing that point because I said "more details" in my first post, what I meant was stuff like confirmation that such tools indeed exist and can do the job, and maybe what platforms they work on, which seems sufficiently abstract to me. I know many sites are wary of the rights holders mafia, so like I already said I wasn't expecting any direct links. I looked around and Apprentice Alf is mentioned around here
all the time, so general directions are clearly OK to ask for and give. I'm on Linux so it's a safe bet don't need detailed instructions for using simple tools. So if you're making a general point about the rules - sure why not remind people; but if you're directing it at me, I don't really see what for. I don't think there was anything out of bounds in my reply to paola basically minimodding me. "May be discussed in the abstract" = not a total taboo. I'm not looking to antagonize you or anything, I'm just a little baffled why you feel I needed to be warned.
