Be careful with this one. I criticized a Federal Judge in similar fashion. The US Marshals showed up at my house in an effort to "silence through intimidation". The email is pasted below.

Judge Buckles: I would like to thank you for your recent assassination in Amburgy v. Express Scripts, Inc. Writing that Ambury did not demonstrate harm that is ‘actual or imminent, not conjectural or hypothetical' was appalling. The fact of the matter is that the danger is real. One of the first things those who are negligence do is offer computer and personal security services to the victims, such as antivirus and credit monitoring. Your ruling is synonymous with, "There's no proof that the thief who broke into the safe and stole the money will spend the money." I can only hope that you and your family are the victims of a breach, so you can endure the mythical threat upon which you base your opinions. You are clearly not qualified to preside over issues in the digital age. Next time, please do all of us a favor and recuse yourself. Thanks jackass, Jeffrey Walton Baltimore, MD, US [Postscript] "After data loss, ID theft risk soars" http://redtape.msnbc.com/2009/11/i-call-them-dear-john-data-letters-because-of-the-bad-news-they-bring-and-their-decidedly-warm-and-fuzzy-tone--dear-consume.html _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
