If your intention is to troll (Debian? d-u subscribers?), or demonstrate 
basic misunderstanding of disclaimers, then it's too "in your face".

Really good trolling requires more subtlety ;)


If neither was your intention the article only reflects badly on you, 
without helping in any way improve the matter you're upset about[1].


In any case, it's probably better to just take it down completely.


[1] Debian's security support is imperfect - what a surprise. If you're 
unhappy with that please do contact Debian's Customer Relations 
department for a full refund of the license fee you paid[2].

[2] Yes, the above is intended as humorous, but Poe's law...


Kind regards,
Andrei
