    This is quickly becoming a pissing contest. Bugtraq is not the proper
    forum for this. OpenBSD has failings as do other OS's. Such is the nature
    of software development.
    
    Please in the future, if at all possible. Be mature enough not to take
    this agenda motivated discussion into improper forums.
