I didn't take you post the wrong way, there was no problem with it. :-) You however apparently took my post to ANOTHER person's reply, and seemed to think that was for you, when it was not--it was only for the person to whom I replied. You need to not only look at the reply, but WHAT a reply is FOR and TO whom.
I understand you were only asking what the posts meant and/or what they were for, and I thought I replied to that with the appropriate information, ( http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg12416.html ) but you didn't reply to that email, you replied to another post meant that was a reply to someone else. So, are you still not clear on their purpose? Here's an example if you don't have one handy: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg12418.html If not, maybe here: http://secunia.com/secunia_research/ http://secunia.com/about_secunia_advisories/ -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold B." FROM a misunderstood reader (this is not directed to *only* Clint): It amazes me how remarks can be picked up the wrong way; I thought my email was clear. I'm not complaining about Clint's postings. As I said in my remark, I have the highest regard for Clint's storehouse of computer knowledge. I'm surprised it was picked up as a denigration of what he is offering. My point is that contrary to point 3 below, I have very little "sources" of information or "knowledge" and that is why I was asking for some explanation of what the Secunia posts were. Note that I didn't even know what to call them so I used the term "support-o postings" (because I happened to see that term on top of his last "secunia" post. I don't even know what that means. Now from your remarks, I learn that it has something to do with computer security. That's all I wanted to know. I know so little about this that I don't even know how to use that information. And it's possible other people are in the same boat. Fortunately, I don't think my system is compromised but one never knows. So Point 1 (see below), I'm not filtering anything. Point 2, I get the PCWorks Digest and don't know what that has to do with archives (btw, PCWorks archives is fantasitic; easy to find any earlier postings). Point 3 I already covered. And Point 4, nobody is asking for the "secunia" posts to stop --- again, it was just that I didn't know what they are. I'm repeating my original question below where I don't see where I said anything derogatory about any of the good work that the very knowledgeable people in PCWorks are doing; for you guys and girls (ladies?), I have the highest respect. Why those two paragraphs were picked up as a complaint by four people, I'll never know. --- Harold FROM Clint: > 1. No one is forcing you to read them.

We all know that and appreciate it.

That's the problem; >> I don't know what that information means. I know I am missing something so if you or anyone can explain what I am missing, without thinking I am rude, please enlighten me (and possibly other newbies in the group).
