Hi,

I'm glad for you that you have yet to get your fingers burnt yet.  And
I'm again learning that you obviously have a lot of faith in this
patching business, which is fine and applaudable.  The security
community certainly needs people like you to continue having faith. :)

  I'm not sure what you are trying to get to, with the latest piece of
rhetoric you issued here. Are you trying to advocate patching or
patching at exactly the moment there is a problem or...  Bill Gates
claims people do not patch in time, someone here says that the patches
are unreliable... How straight do you want this comparison to be??

Ciao
