Brett, I have to say that it's my true and honest opinion that I've YET to see a single good idea from you. Your ideas, not to put too fine a point on it, tend to be wild flights of hallucinogenic fantasy and are not "good" by any stretch of the imagination. I'm reminded more of certain marketing meetings I've been forced to sit in where guys in suits stand up periodically to shout "I've got it! We'll include a free package of rubbers in every copy of our firewall software! People will thus associate us with ``protection'' since most of them already know what rubbers are for!" Everyone else in the room (except for the other marketdroids) is, of course, rolling their eyes so wildly that some are toppling from their seats. You know those Avis commercials where they show a group of people brainstorming about how to improve the car rental business by renting jet packs to executives or including aromatherapy candles in the back seats? That's what reading Advocacy and Security has been like lately. Not a bunch of good ideas well presented, just a bunch of wild ideas presented by our resident wild man, Brett Glass. Please Brett, learn to recognise your own limitations! - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
