Subject: Re: Linux kernel exploit

Sorry Dan, I did a very quick copy and paste job, without reading the
headers. I simply don't have time to read the code notes of every single
exploit released.

I would say that, if you are fed up with being inundated with emails, then
perhaps you should mark these notes very clearly in big red writing at the
top of the email like this, for those people who don't have much time to
read these notes ;)
