I can sum up my feeling on the subject (off topic subject -- 'Is this a tutorial') in just a few words.

Did I learn something from this? The answer is Yes.
Is the subject security or some thing else? The answer is Yes it is security. (if I know nothing of the subject I am at risk).

Most of the rest of the thread is just wasted space and bandwith though. I really don't need to read about the bloated egos of argueing members (myself included).
