While posts of this nature have little to with Linux, 
personally, I find them interesting and informative and don't
mind the extra bandwidth as long as it is not too much.
As system admins (at least of our systems) , we do need
to be aware of security concerns, even if that is not
purely a Linux issue, as we (at least, I am) are
affected, perhaps indirectly.

I hope others feel the same. What say you?
