right I guess i missed Toms post for some reason .. After reading this one though here is a somewhat happier response .. The original poster whom i flamed in a post regarding a security issue looked like a firewall kinda post said "This may not be the right thing to do and flame me if you will" or words to that effect .. I saw no such Flames so after i saw the issue with WU i thought ok you got away with it once so hehe here you go .. flamed for using WU ( In a nice way of course ) .. the post about what my friend said in Bristol about being a muppet to use it was because the box he was testing actually got rooted within 1.5 hours of going live online .. To me that points out that there are critical mistakes in the way WU works to allow this to happen. and I for one would not like to see anyone get their box owned by other users especially SkRiPtK1dDi33's. so il say sorry to the original poster to the list ...

I for one am getting quite tired of all the "holier than thou" flaming from a few of the members who think they know it all and their way is the only way. If some of you do not want to help us newbies than just delete our messages. You don't have to flame us and talk down at us like some of you do. Remember, you all were new to Linux at one time too. > > ________________________________________________ > See http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us/navigator-mail.shtml if your mail doesn't post to the list quickly and you use Netscape to write mail. > > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.mybutt.net > http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss >
