Subject: Service Pack 2, don't discuss it here.

Tom,

I don't think the OP means "don't talk about SP2 with
regards to security here".  I think what he's rather
clearly referring to is if you install SP2 without
thinking, and then something bad happens (ie,
cardreader stops working) b/c you installed SP2 on a
production system, don't bring *that* up on the list.
