It's probably only useful insofar as one would get as many different answers to that question as there are people replying.

Well, it's not immoral; it's just stupid.

Apart from anything else, a lot of people prefer "ethical" to "moral". Also, since people don't tend to agree on a basis for morality, it's probably a waste of time without expressing your basic worldview first, or saying something like, "Ignoring any concerns about ____, do you think ____ is right?"

No it is not moral and if it were a useful approach you'd get some replies. The real question though would be is it moral to reply to "is it moral" questions?

Where is old sparty these days? Man some of his threads were a riot.
