Ah, so you feel that Theo's email was equivalent to an email suggesting that a project you lead includes an intentionally installed backdoor. Personally, having previously been the maintainer of a widely used open source package (procmail) before I ever became involved with OpenBSD, I find such a comparison laughable. If that's not what you were referring to, well, making behavioral comparisons that no one understand don't help your cause. >> I am sure others will feel the same; those of you who do, feel free >> to explain the concept to him. > > Ah the invitation for the brands and pitchforks.

Okay, let's take it back one notch, then another: 1) someone disagreed with you privately off-list but you took their reply on-list. We've heard Theo's reasoning for why he did so in the "OpenBSD haz a backdoor" case; what's your reason for doing so instead of simply deleting this email or replying saying you weren't interested in discussing it off-list? 2) you don't see at least one real bug worth reporting and fixing in the original post? Not even the "Volume number invalid: none" bit? Really? Philip Guenther
