Since I am a believer in free speech and vehemently anti censorship you find my beliefs at odds with your totalitarian socialistic/fascist concepts. Nothing proved the failure of Communism like the building of the Berlin wall. Your use of kill filters, and continued advocacy of censorship and withholding of vital news confirms your political alliance. By the way, I love the way you just 'trolled' into, hijacked the thread and modified the 'subject'. Real class act on your part. -- Jerry ges...@yahoo.com Serfs up!

Realize (in this case) that the replies you are reading are extremely valuable, even to relative newcomers. Most replies have been quite informative. Some with very good analogies explaining why we don't broadcast security-related issues before any investigative work has been done to at *minimum* determine their impact to the userbase. Others have expressed their appreciation for what the sec-team does, why they do it that way, and why it makes sense to do it that way. The FreeBSD security folks take their jobs very seriously, and it shows. They are very good stewards acting with common-sense, good judgement while following best common practises, all on behalf of the people they are responsible forus (and technically, themselves).
