stfu and stop replying to this chain. This is debian-security, not debian-childish-trolling.
My email earlier was to give a hint on where this was heading, and yet it continues. If you have a problem with the way I handle my email, I'd rather you'd reply personally to me rather than dragging the whole mailing list into it.

No, it's the way YOU handle replies. Gmail happens to place the cursor
at the top of the email, setting you up for a jeopardy reply. It's
trivial to scroll down a little and type within the message in the
proper location and avoid top-posting.
I know this is the case because I'm doing it right now. And I even
managed to delete the extraneous text that doesn't pertain to the
conversation. Don't blame gmail for your laziness.

I don't do it because it's annoying to you, that's just an added bonus.
Since the thread has already devolved and because anyone with a decent
email client who doesn't want to see the thread continue has marked it
dead, I thought that it wouldn't matter too much to reply and add to
it. Match on a bonfire, as it were.
I'd much rather see security discussions on this list, rather than
having to educate people in the ways of how the intarwebs works, how
to google and how to write a proper reply on a technical mailing list.
Cheers!
