Pardon.

We, at least I shouldn't waste the time of other people.

No excuse for writing useless stuff, you're right, OTOH is it really
time, that could be used for something better?

Some people take "things" more or less serious. 
We are on a software mailing list ... software is a joke regarding to
other simple issues such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_power_skinhead
You might call it polemic and OT for this list. Ok, you might be right,
where is the border? UEFI also is far away from the unconvincable
Neo-Nazis ... well everything so far is good, so there's no reason to be
polemic and in the end we'll chime in "we were not aware about it".
Yes, lets be quiet, sorry again,
Ralf
