Oh, is that what you think? Everything SHOULD be encrypted, there's no
excuse (in this day and age) for the existence of non-encrypted traffic
of any sort, even if you're only employing weak encryption.
Your arrogant dictatorial stance only shows that you are a tool of the
governments of the world which would have us believe that encryption is
not necessary. Those of us who are tired of wondering if someone will
sniff a password and gain access to something we considered to be
harmless and exploit some vulnerability would prefer if all traffic were
encrypted.
Ordinarily I wouldn't attack so strongly, or so tritely, but like likes
like, as they say.
If you would like to have the last word, rest assured that I will not
continue this thread on the list.
