Re: AW: [cobalt-security] Unofficial PHP 4.1.2 PKG available

[Francisco Sánchez <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Switzerland is .ch, Austria is .at, NOT .au, Germany is .de and hopefully
some day (when the U.S. Commerce Dept. so wishes), we may even have an .eu
(European Union) domain.  But that is not the point.

I am mostly a passive reader of this list, and have seen many good
contributions from Michael Stauber.  They have been very useful to me.

He has just found something that in a security related list is IMPORTANT and
people should know.  Please let us not start a war for this.  There are many
wars out there and the world does not need another here.

Andres, you have done a very good job, but maybe, for pepole who participate
in lists like this, the email thing is not very much welcome.

Just that, let us say the bad and the good and let us be constructive.  Keep
with the great job and just warn people if you ever make any software with
such feature.  That's it.

Thanks Andres for your contribution and thanks Michael for explaining the
call home feature.

Please do not fire each other anymore.

Very best regards,

Francisco Sánchez
