Yes, I did read the message, and I probably just ignored reading URL's, I 
read the meat of it and yes I know it only had to do with Sendmail 
downloads during a certain date range. And there were MANY posts about all 
sorts of downloading/installing various mail-methods over the last few 
days, so yes I thought it was appropriate!!!!

Why do you need to publicly flame me, as least I read this from a post last 
week:
----------
4.7. Don't criticise someone else's spelling and grammar. In fact, in
general, do not flame. If you wouldn't make the same comment
face-to-face with someone twice your size, don't say it.
----------  (by the way, cringe, criticize is mipselled, at least in 
American-English, not sure if England and other spell if differently :)

And I did read that entire post, and that is why I purposely left it intact 
except for a bunch of headers - if there is ONE person on this list that 
did install that version of Sendmail, I would think that person would be 
very glad to have the entire post, including the part about how to 
subscribe to the CERT Advisory list.

And, if your email did not end with: *Please reply to the list only. 
Offlist replies are not read.* - I would have written this to you 
personally and not the entire list.

So either get off my back or dump me off the list, I and no one else 
deserves this.

END OF THIS THREAD!!!!!!
