I'll probably regret it but Jeff isn't telling any stories, all the above people are on the list, I count myself at different stages in all 3 categories mentioned, from previous discussion on the list I know a fair bit of background about a number of other people, so Oscar you are being corrected by a far more experienced bunch of people than you think... A blanket statement that compiling your own kernels is required for a secure system was made by u, a lot of people have pointed out your statement is incorrect in the general case, you feel retracting that statment will make you look stupid in public, whereas in fact arguing it is doing the damage far more efficently... my advise to Jeff is to give up on this discussion ;-), I think the archive will stand to point out the incorrect statement sufficently well at this stage...
