What possible good is posting this HERE going to do?
Why don't you raise this issue where someone who has any influence
over what Apple does participates?
I wanted to see if anyone else felt this was important...and since many
users here have used macs for many many years I'm sure they have plenty of
experience in this area of Apple...as for talking about it with someone who
can influence what Apple does, I don't know of such a person...do you? I
believe that Apple reads the various lists on the web and probably googles
from time to time on the month of apple bugs to see the
various discussions
on it and as such I believe that if people here expressed
concern over the
exploits and wanting them to be patched that Apple may eventually read the
posts and then there'd be one more reason for them to patch the
exploits...thus my reason for posting this to this list...geese...never
before have I ever seen a list policy so confusingly and conflictingly
enforced! :-(
