The post was off-topic (as you even noted in the subject line). There are *many* other forums for security discussions (ISC as you mentioned, the Incidents mailing list, etc.) and the least amount of effort would have found them. Lots of people on this list are interested in the US presidential election or possibly even the recent release of Doom 3 but that does not mean that this is the place to discuss it. Personally, I was very interested in the post itself (as network security is my day job) but the post still should have been done in the appropriate forum. This forum is "for users of Fedora Core releases. If you want help with a problem installing or using Fedora Core, this is the list for you." (from the Fedora website). Windows security issues just aren't relevant. We now return to our regularly scheduled GNOME-vs-KDE religious wars... :) -- Kyle Maxwell [krmaxwell@xxxxxxxxx]
