Well if Dan kept threads intact by using In-Reply-To: in his mail

What use is the ranking claim to readers of this list *without* the
citation?  I have seen several reports in the press claiming a
statistical ranking that puts Linux worse than Windows, but they were
generally followed up by responses taking apart the methodology.  If
there is one that is supportable, security-basics readers should see
it.  (there might be - particularly for 2002 which seemed
qualitiatively and in my opinion - to be a bad yearfor Linux)

The person that cited it should quote his source if he wants his
discovery to be useful to us.
