Have you actually been reading and comprehending what has been stated

Who should I blame, my barber? The SA has primary responsibility for
his/her system. It would be ludicrous to attempt to pass the blame onto
someone else.

They have explained it, you just choose to not listen or accept their
explanation.

Who has been attacked? Certainly not competent SAs. Conversely, SAs who
would rather procrastinate than keep their systems up-to-date are openly
criticizing the ClamAV team for a decision that was theirs to make. In
today's culture, blaming others for our mistakes does seem to be the
norm.

They all ready have explained their reasoning. How many times must they
reiterate it before you comprehend what they are saying? It has come to
the point now that all you are doing is "beating a dead horse."
