Subject: Local Root Exploit

Precisely.  Every time I see one of his posts, I roll my eyes, moan a
little and move on to the next one.  If *I'm* doing it, and I am paid to
worry about these things, how many others do you think are as well?

He apparently thinks it's cute - or funny - but I'm way too busy to wade
through all the crap to get to something useful.  I actually read this
one, because it wasn't prefaced by all sorts of childish crap.  Same
reason I skip over all of Panda's posts on viruses.  I don't need a QOTD
before getting to the meat of the problem.
