I've read them. It doesn't seem any worse than the drivel which shows up here regularly. Joerg tells Alan Cox he doesn't know anything about Linux systems or security. People here say things about that ridiculous once a week -- you've seen them too. On the other hand, I find this message interesting: http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/8/19/111 In particular, he seems to be relying on German "Authors' Rights", and claims to be in discussion with Debian people. That's nearly a month ago. -Brian -- Brian Sniffen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
