Some very interesting comments from a poster in The Fort
concerning password protected posts.
Why is there this sudden need for posters to obtain your
e-mail address before you will be given the password?
What is wrong with the text message as used by many
well known and trustworthy posters?
Is someone building a database of downloaders e-mail
addresses by issuing the command "no password until
you request it to your e-mail address"?
Going back a few years when there were very many
helpful, security-minded regulars in The Fort (and Doc
was then one of them) such restrictions placed on
downloaders would have been condemned out of hand.
I know times change but I am very surprised at the
extreme change in Doc's attitude concerning safety.
Maximum safety is when there is no contact outside
of the group. Safety is compromised as soon as you
publish an e-mail address in order to be sent a
password.
EVEN HUSHMAIL IS *NOT* 100% SAFE !!!
