I must reluctantly concur. I had hoped that Google -- given its essentially unlimited financial and personnel resources -- would take its own motto to heart and set the bar high...but sadly, no. While they have not yet reached the abysmally low standard set by the insane crack monkeys who run Yahoo and Hotmail, they have utterly failed to perform their highest duty: preventing their operation from being an active menace to the rest of the Internet. I suppose that repeating a slogan is much easier than actually doing the work required to realize it. BTW, this profound incompetence also extends to NNTP. ---rsk _______________________________________________ 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.
