Thank you for that.

Here is a nice URL for you about netiquette and top-posting:
http://www.stanton.dtcc.edu/stanton/cs/rfc1855.html#3

And what EXACTLY has your insult and top-post got to do with the DoS which I
posted a workaround for, bearing mind that this is a security list?

The workaround posted, however, does work which was the whole point of the
post to a security list to help people secure their servers.
