    Well if Dan kept threads intact by using In-Reply-To: in his mail

    What use is the ranking claim to readers of this list *without* the
    citation? I have seen several reports in the press claiming a
    statistical ranking that puts Linux worse than Windows, but they were
    generally followed up by responses taking apart the methodology. If
    there is one that is supportable, security-basics readers should see
    it. (there might be - particularly for 2002 which seemed
    qualitiatively and in my opinion - to be a bad yearfor Linux)

    The person that cited it should quote his source if he wants his
    discovery to be useful to us.
