Me too, but they've already been covered.

I have one machine that uses an old OS, because it does what I need.
Since it's not on any network, and doesn't have to share data with
anything (not even discs), those kind of security issues don't exist.

So, there are times when the usual rules don't apply.  Even the
heartbleed problem can be ignored by those who don't do any secure
internetting.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point
trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the
public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
