[Post in question](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=415032) Since no post was made after mine, can I get a clarification as to why it was locked? I didn’t think discussion about this type of software would be questionable seeing as how it has legitimate security purposes. ---

What? He gave you a totally clear explanation. For those to lazy to click on the link, here: > [@](#): > > I’m closing this for right now, Surbey, because I’m unsure how the SDMB wants to deal with questions like this. While there are, admittedly, legitimate uses of keyloggers, there are also numerous illegal uses. I’ll shoot this to the rest of the mods to discuss and I’ll get back with you. > > Also, this belongs in GQ, but I’ll move it after we come to a decision. Unless you didn’t see it. He even said he’d check with the others and get back to you. You can’t wait? ---

He probably never saw it before creating this thread. ---
