I think you bought one CD.


Is that a Robert Heinlein philosophy too?

I HAVE donated both hardware and cash over the last few years, as  
well as buying CDs and shirts; does that mean I get to have an opinion?

1) It is reasonable to assume that if a security-announce@ list  
exists, it will be utilized consistently. If it is not, the  
documentation should be updated to reflect that.

2) There are numerous other ways to track changes to -STABLE. Using  
one of them is also reasonable; if they were referenced somewhere in  
the documentation that would certainly be helpful (but would generate  
management overhead).

I think I've bought 4 over the last 5 years.
I wouldn't swear to it.  I spent at least one
release learning to do it myself
sans cd.  And 1 t-shirt for sure.  Believe me
or not.  At least one cd was bought under a different name

I pointed out what I thought was a problem, and
I tried to be respectful when I did so.
One security errata did not get announced on
the security-announce mailing list.
Nobody wants to acknowledge it as a problem.
Fine.  Is it a big problem?  Not really.
But people seem to want to give me shit for
mentioning it.  That's fine too but I've a weakness
for standing up to agression.  I apologize
if the repetition to which that has led has

I thought you were offering.
