Spamming a technical list seems less than prudent, doesn't it?
Jeez, I mean, just one anti-social teenager can make nasty packages

Good thing none of *us* are that grumpy, eh? =o)
Then again, we as a group have no history at all at cooperative effort.
Unless you want to count that open-source thing.....
