We have had issues with a FB application basically doing a DOS against a
network. This was not on our servers but somewhere out there on the
Internet. It was an application that was going rogue. It was talking to
several of our user=B9s using this application. FaceBook caught it and made
the developer fix the App. I am sure we were not the only ones seeing the
issue.

Clearly I do not have all the information, so please forgive me for
being confused. But since when do I[*] have to ask you before I put
an application on my server? If FB put an application on your server,
that seems like something you should have known up front.
