One thing I have never done, unlike you, is claim "vast intellectual capabilities" You are a hero in your mirror, it just doesn't work for you in the real World.

I have, but I doubt your ability to absorb it.

Whoever these hypothetical people are, all they have to go on is: 98Guy posts some references to files, which he says (without proof) may add some functionality and may patch some vulnerabilities; you, whenever he does, reflexly (I know that's not a word) post a warning that these have not been tested to military standards and may introduce new vulnerabilities (also without proof). These hypothetical people have to decide which of you to believe. Or, you post a warning about new vulnerabilities taken from somewhere else, and someone else (I think it's 98g) reflexly posts the response "are these relevant to 98". Again, people have to make up their own minds, since you don't provide any proof that they are, and he doesn't that they're not.

Or don't change them; you still don't know what you have (unless _possibly_ you're an expert of very high calibre; certainly not the average or even above-average user).

There is an excellent example of some "testing" here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=512005 (skip to the bottom unless you want to trawl through all the abuse). -- Jeff Richards ---------------------------------------- "98 Guy" <98(a)Guy.com> wrote in message news:4B2797D6.7C384058(a)Guy.com... > snip < > > Why would anyone believe a blow-hard like MEB?
