Hang on winkle nobody's wrong here its about choice and why you should and 
shouldn't make a choice.

Lets be up front here I agree security or at least some implementation of 
security should come first but every thing adds security on a regular basis 
thats why we have Anti-Virus because idiots write new viruses so people like 
Clam, Amavis etc right fixes (or alerts) after the events and not before.

Its not a good enough argument to say "Ah thats crap because you don't get a 
patch until its been hacked" that can happen to anything.

You are an old grumpy git arnt you? We all have to start somewhere and 
Professionalism is learned  over a period of time. how many times have you 
seen people spouting off, producing junk initially, but over time their 
output has got better and better, I don't know when these CMS packages hit 
the streets but I presume they have been around for a while I have only just 
come across them in the last three months and they impress me.

Maybe I have a low expectation, maybe I'm talking out my arse but the valid 
point is I'm impressed which means I'll tell others about them and suggest 
using them thats how things take off a bit like your T-Shirt venture for all 
I know they may be made in a sweat shop in Lewisham with badly woven cotten 
but I still think they look cool probably fit me OK and will make others want 
one.

You amateur T-Shirt seller ;)
(You have to do six months to be professional)
