well, i expected somebody to say something like that. actually, the one
calling me anti-american is still missing. ;)
obviously, i think that the discussion still *is* relevant to mutt's
security, otherwise i'd take it off-list.
for the record, my choices were:
- ignore dave. this would be silly - based on the same reasoning as used
in the mail in question.
- fight him on the basis of every possible technical aspect. pointless,
obviously.
- simply show him how his line of argumentation is fundamentally flawed
(he seems to like that fu-word :). if you think that the used reasoning
or comparisons are getting too personal, then it's too bad ... for
you. :-P SCNR
his choices are now:
- ignore me
- flame me, in which case i will ignore him
- show me how my argumentation is flawed
- accept that i'm right and based on that rethink his own position
towards a more differentiated one, based on pragmatic and not on
ideological arguments. this doesn't even mean changing the actual
position, as in the $PATH case we seem to agree mostly. ;)
ok, enough theoretizing. :)
