No, that was bad, too. Apple screwed up and lets files masquerading as
documents run as executables. This was a bad oversight, and not the
only one in OS X.

And the half-dozen patches I've applied to my other systems were bad
news and good news, too - bad that there was a flaw, good that there
was a patch.

Knowledge is power.

Your point?
