He said that well AFTER my post that you are replying to of mine.
Am I supposed to travel back in time, and change my post because of info
obtained AFTER my post was sent?
Please ship me a DeLorean, and not one of the kit car ones!

No. But they should expect that people will help them turn off security
features, just because they ask either.
Analogy:

High, I've grown my own strain of anthrax bacteria, and I'm having

Are you gonna answer this post with directions to aerosolize anthrax, or
are you gonna try to find out a little more?
