I'm more than tempted: I can't understand why anyone would even consider using Skype. It's closed-source, therefore it must be presumed insecure. Nothing Microsoft says about it can be trusted. There is reason to believe that it's been successfully attacked by third parties. &etc. I dunno 'bout y'all, but I think that's enough to blacklist it permanently. Done. Over.
