RE: Insecure Security Technologies

["Shenk, Jerry A" <jshenk () decommunications com>]

Just to be clear here - I am NOT complaining.  I agree, this blog has
valid, well presented content.  I think it's valid to a "security
practitioner" to attempt to market themselves and I think "free content"
is a way that potential clients can "try before they buy".

If Adriel's blog was ad-laden or provided no useful information I'd ask
to
have the content copied to the list directly and not external link. I
*do*
check links and things before submissions get passed for list
distribution
ya know. All this fame and glory isn't free :)

As always, if you have questions or concerns about postings to the list
or
wish to provide input if you'd like things done differently, please
don't
hesitate to contact me.
