OK, maybe you are right. The thing is, I really don't care. I know that I can't
plug every security hole in the world, so I just learn to live with this. Yes,
it would sure be nice to find and plug all those security holes and make other
improvements to Lynx. But then there are other, much more important, things
that demand my attention, so I just have to prioritize. Sorry.

BTW, don't say "your Lynx". It isn't mine, it's Fote's, I just made it build on
4.3BSD.
