} - Given an exploit, it's still going to be an uninteresting. It's

     One that still hasn't been released publically, so there is
no point in talking about it.

} - There was a precedence by OS X, we aren't doing this though.

     OS X is NOT a precedence for anything except OS X.

} - PuTTY is nice

     PuTTY is a graphical app, and therefore not a replacement for
telnet(1).  If there is a way to use it from a command line, please
let us know.

} - This deletionist attitude is frustrating if it touches things you
}   care/d about.

     It's frustrating even when it touches things that one doesn't
use.  It's just double frustrating when it touches things that one
uses.  The deletionists should go create their own OS (which will
be useless due to lack of functionality).
