Ok, I think it's time to filter your email from my inbox.
Don't take it the wrong way, but I don't care about your fights with
some guy named Kurt,
or the stupid forensic dudes or the laws or politics of your country.
All I care about is securiy, if I ever want to discuss other stuff
I'll subscribe to another
list, forum, whatever.
Have a nice day.
