Hi,
the discussion becomes quite bizarre now.

There is nothing to add to Robin's last mail.

If Karl's offer to add a switch is unacceptable, it's best to leave
things as they are.  Dvips is secure and reliable as it is now.

All the examples of "leaks of privacy" mentioned on this list are
absolutely ridiculous.

Regards,
  Reinhard
