Given that I actively support and encourage free user programming on
the server, this is hardly a problem. Any automation or
intelligence you can implement as a client-side function can be done
as server-side soft-code with the advantage of guaranteed response
time (which is not present for a client) as well as an environment
specifically crafted to support such operations.
Given that world, automated clients are generally at a potential
disadvantage (for the first time) as verus straight telnet users.
