Since I have no responsibility for either site I don't much care
Actually neither has responsibility as a security watchdog,
that is the NSA's job.

Actually I think you are the spoiled brat. If you had any real 
experience of computer security you would know who I am 
and who I work with.

One of the principles of propaganda is reflection - poor 
propagandists accuse others of their own faults. My guess
is that Attila is a sixteen year old schoolkid who thinks that
downloading PGP and reading Bruce's book makes him a 
security expert.

The real complacent folk are the ones that put their trust in 
cargo cult readings of Bill Morris.

    oh, my!  a self-righteous, ostentatious, gratuitous, chest thumper.
    maybe even a national hero! "Pompous in high presumption" (Chaucer)

    has your press relations officer given your home town newspaper
    an exclusive broadside to make your mum proud?

    probably still looking for his horse...

    the truth would surprise you.
    those who know had a need to know; the rest are irrelevant.

    one of Sir Winston Churchill's great lines obviously applies:
    
      "[Hallam-Baker] has the gift on compressing the largest 
        amount of words into the smallest amount of thoughts."
