You're entitled to your opinion.  I state that you're wrong about it,
but obviously I don't expect you to believe.

I know this is Theo's opinion.  Now I also know this is your opinion.

I really don't know why the OpenBSD project was left in the dark.  I can
guess, like anyone else could.  When guessing like that, people arrive
at different conclusions based on their prejudices or lack thereof.
That's to be expected.  I choose not to arrive at any conclusion based
on mere guesses, and you blame me for that.

I know that such guesses are very often wrong.  I'm sometimes accused of
who-knows-what (luckily not often, though), like I am by you now.  Since
I actually know that I am not lying, this only confirms to me that
people can guess wrongly, and can accuse wrongly.  That's life.  I prefer
not to be among those accusing based on guesses, even when those guesses
seem very plausible.

That's not what I know.

No, I'm not.

Look, in these recent e-mails I tried to support you (OpenBSD and
LibreSSL) in establishing a way for OpenSSL to be notifying you (if you
want that).  It's not a pleasant role, but I was dragged into it by
volunteering to host this distros list some years back, and now by
Theo's request to comment.  I didn't decline either - I genuinely want
to help, despite of the attacking tone of some of the e-mails you guys
sent to me (although I've also received several in support, off-list).
I guess I'll stop now.  I've said all that needed to be said.  The rest,
like this message, is, frankly, just extra words.  You should really
work with the OpenSSL project directly.  Attacking someone who was
dragged into a middleman role isn't going to help.
