I did not say it was not important (at least to someone).  I said "we 
don't care".  A specific (out-of-date, mis-configured, etc, etc_ virus 
scanner missing a new virus is _NOT_ a security issue of signiifcance 
to the charter of this list.  In other words...

   We don't care!

And there are also _other lists_ where such "information" is actually 
on-topic.  Please consider carefully where you post such stuff.

Finally, I do not care what your opinion of this comment this, but if 
you really must respond to it, _do so off-list_.
