I have done this same thing in the past, because I tend to answer the question asked and nothing more. However, recently I have begun trying to not give suggestions or examples that will create a security vulnerability, as well as warning about them in the examples provided. This is based on my belief that people don't always know what questions they should be asking, combined with my belief that they likely use the examples or suggestions we provide exactly as stated. As such, I think it is our responsibility to educate. I'm not sure if anyone agrees with me, but this is my philosophy.
