Good grief. Are you *trying* to provoke people? Why this was added at the end I don't know, other than the fact that you want to be a sh*t disturber. Please refrain from these comments. They really have no place here and I'm disappointed to see that people who are supposed to be intelligent enough to be deemed "experts" feel the need to continue with this. Yes, it's not nice, yes people will die, yes we all have our opinions, no you likely won't change someone else's opinion, bla bla bla. Please, stop! Instead of promoting Mandrake and this particular community, you're hurting it. People will leave the lists over continued nuances and blatant badgering over this extremely off-topic thread. If you feel the need to discuss it, please do so on an off-topic list or subscribe to some political, anti-war, or tree-hugger's mailing list. I'm sure they exist. I am, personally, about half an inch from unsubscribing from this list as well, although it pains me to do so as some people have questions regarding security and updates that I like to help with. But I simply can't stand the amount of off-topic garbage coming through the Mandrake lists these days... it's already caused me to unsubscribe from cooker. I'm sure I'm not the only who feels their time is more valuable than wading through this crud just to get to the "good" stuff... no, wait, not even the good stuff... the *relevant* stuff. Please be considerate of the others on this list. I understand you want to get your point across. If you feel so strongly, put up a web page with your thoughts and provide the URL in your sig. Please stop polluting the list. Unfortunately, I likely will not be permitted to start hacking through the members list and removing everyone who posts OT... =( Which means that the responsibility lies on every list member's shoulders to a) not start these threads and b) not feed them. My apologies to everyone for even responding to this in the first place. I considered it for a full 5 minutes before doing so, and even somewhat regret doing it anyways, but with the amount of off-topic stuff going to the lists these days, I felt I had to say something to encourage folks to be a little more respectful of the other subscribers. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ Online Security Resource Book; http://linsec.ca/ "lynx -source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
