Yes, it does. Using an executable for content delivery just does _not_
make sense.

There is no good reason for it.

Deliver content in a document format (PDF, HTML, SWF, ...).

How can I tell if you are reputable or not? One surefire way is to look at
what your distributing: If it's supposed to be content, but you're
distributing it as an executable, I'll assume you are _not_ reputable.
