[This answer is not intended to be either ironic or amusing!] Yes ... it would be in extremely poor form to do such a thing here. We abide by the rules that govern use of systems at NYU, and one of the actions highly frowned-upon is the issuance of threats -- or other forms of menace. In other words, I would say that threats against anyone's life are taken very seriously by the university's security staff, however ludicrous such threats may seem to be. --tim o'connor
