Well, I guess your not using OpenSSL for your web stuff either.  So it
goes.

Sorry, I'll take the time to install the free package rather than the
closed package from an arrogant company anyday.  I cannot speak of the
libs problems you refer to... at least not on that level.

That's right.

Yeah, and I seem to recall that SSH Comm's server recently had a
hole.  The street runs both ways.  Do you want to pay the whiners fee or
would you rather have Theo at the helm.

As much as I despise him, I'll take Theo at the helm rather than some
company that complains that the protocal name interfere's with their
company name.  Sound familiar to anyone?  It's the reason I use Linux /
Unix rather than some other crappy OS that supposedly had a major release
today.
