 ml> this could happen with anyone in the distribution chain... yes, 
 ml> even a *C only chain... think about it ;)

 BF>    That is correct. With all the security we build into the system

true... however, mankind being mankind, we're not...

 BF>    Unfortunately there's nothing to stop someone that we expected
 BF> to be trusted, someone who possesses the passwords and has been
 BF> trusted with the appropriate security level, from doing deeds like
 BF> the one we just witnessed. 

FWIW: this is not the first time nor is it the first time with the snooze... we
Z1ers have tried and tried to tell you Z2ers over and over and over about some
of the things that have happened in the past and why certain things are done
certain ways but you Z2ers just won't hear of it... "it doesn't happen over
here so we don't see the reasoning for it." well, guess what... history does
repeat itself! IIRC, it was also the (in?)famous johnS that was involved in the
last snooze snafu situation similar to this...

 BF>    And this is exactly why at least some of us take this matter
 BF> very seriously. What good is it to have all this security if we
 BF> have a mole inside that can pretty well do whatever she pleases?

easy, there... it is not just females that are possibly in this position... and
in the english language, if you don't care about being politically correct, one
would use "he" or "one" to indicate an unknown gender being referenced in a
statement... if one does care about being politically correct, they might use
"he/she" or "one"... i think "one" is easier and more neutral when one doesn't
know what might fit in that word's spot...

 BF> What's next? A Trojan? A virus? A ZIP bomb? Paedophile material and
 BF> then calling the feds?

those are all traceble buy the tics if they are hatched in to the distribution
stream... and without a tic, there's no way for the ticfile processors to
handle the files and move them on to other machines...

 BF>    Some of you scream bloody murder over a nonsense (C) message,
 BF> that is totally void, but yet you seem to take lightly on the crime
 BF> of illegally entering something on someone else's computer,
 BF> something that I think is a crime almost everywhere in the world.

easy... many of us see that you and mvdv illegally entered unwanted (C)
material on our computers... think about that, eh? remember, we (collective)
don't know the laws in other countries and areas... thus we don't know what
laws we may be subjected to by participating in international areas...
especially when it come to this copyright stuff and you have someone pulling
chains because he can just so he can cause confusion and create strife, panic,
and heartache...
