At least in the U.S., it is a felony to participate in a conspiracy. If
you make
an exhortation in an e-mail that somebody else do simething illegal, and
the person enetes into a discussion with and subsequently performs that
illegal act, then you have technically committed conspiracy. I'm less
clear
on whether or not the other participants in the discussion are also guilty
of consciracy, but they might be. In light of this, please hold such
discussions
only among those who wish to be involved. Thanks.
