Ah!  Now we're getting somewhere!  You should care because everyone knows the needle in the pump handle is urban legend 
perpetuated by those who don't want you to know that the needles are really in the seats at movie theaters!  See how 
that works out?  If he didn't tell us he didn't care, I wouldn't have told him that I didn't care that he didn't care, 
in which case you would not be asking why you should care that I don't care that he doesn't care, and I wouldn't have 
found out that you didn't know about needles in the seats, and subsequently, would not know to now wear an ass-mat when 
you go to the theaters!

This thread could have literally saved your LIFE Marsh!  Merry Christmas indeed!!!!

Well you've been on this list longer than I have Thor, I'd've thought you'd
figured it out by now.

The point is to keep the top-posting email chain as long and as wasteful of
everybody's time as possible!

It's a game called "meta trolling" and it's just a slightly less creative version of
"forward the urban legend about the AIDS-infected syringe hidden in gas
pump handle to everyone in my address book". (It's been adapted for
computer types who prefer belonging to mailing lists where they joke about
recursion over having address books full of people they care about dearly.)

So here goes:

Why should I care that you don't care that he doesn't care?

Merry Christmas,

-Marsh

reading this whole discussion, did you ever considered if grey user,
just like me, will ever care ? if backdooring major *bsd distribution
will make a difference whether to choose OpenBSD or something else
when it's really no real choice between backdoored or "not"
backdoored distro have any matter ? even without such Theo's
confesion with his so called private mail that got released to the
public.. do i care? sure i do, but i don't have any alternative.

i keep using it in hope that it's too serious for my needs. If
someone want to invigilate me, i will check if A-Team is somewhere
near my house, i would need to have serious reasons to worry.

Pretty lame to worry about it, and me - grey user - well, prove or
die, can't take such claims seriously if really skilled set of coders
can't figure it out whether it's backdoored or not.

I don't need such confession to stop using OpenBSD, it serve well for
my purposes but i would use nothing that is well known, for critical
communication.


Some posts are paranoid about it, some IS MUST is annoying but sounds
like the person does CARE about it.


i don't. at least since it's not proved... sorry for my lame english.

marry x-mass eve, stop please. or prove. (even if you do, prove me
that the alternative is safe, no? 2bad).
