Yes? The existence of RipOff disease, a deadly contagion which is prevalent in some part of our world, is easily investigated. Readers will draw their own conclusions. Some may even describe its pathology and recount how they recovered from it. Others may put their symptoms down to a bout of False Positive fever. The existence of MithRa's rootkit and Aquatica rootkit is also easily investigated. Readers would present a description of these two rootkits, what they do, how they do it and what the consequences of encountering them are; preferably with sources quoted. This isn't begging the question; it is rational thought. Software which encourages searching for hairs on the palms of one's hands might raise an eyebrow or two but, if it keeps people happy, who am I to argue? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
