Why isn't Apple releasing patches for the Month of AppleBugexploits???

Hex wrote.... You're right, I did. Let me explain further below. This isn't your fault, it's mine. I had written privately.... It's bad form to quote private email in public. That, is not my fault ;) Hex - most of us (including me) have been here for many years and have fallen into an automatic gut reaction that most of us agree on as to what is on topic and what is not - and how far something off-topic can be taken. Many people who join this list hang around for a bit and watch before posting much - perhaps to get a flavor for the bounds of conversation (it's hard to put in black and white actually). In any case, it's my job to nudge conversations back on-topic when they have either gone on too long or gotten too far off the beaten path of interest here. Don't take it personal (and I hope no one else does) when I ask to end a thread or move things back more on-topic. After a while you'll develop that same sense of when things are going too far off-topic. To sum up - I should have clarified with you from the beginning and anyone would have taken what I said the way you did - but it would be more precise to say that while this view of the list allows both on-topic and off-topic discussion, there is bounds on the off-topic discussion. It's not 'anything goes', and if people get too far off I'll nudge them back on :) Jay
