We are not talking the same language, Manu: what I'm meaning is
that you are a smart guy, a programmer, and for sure you
"understand computer security", still you shared a password among
a few sites, and worst, you missed a _clear warning_ when you
registered to mailman.
Assumed that I agree with you regarding the proactive approach of
the others in security, I still state that nothing can be gained
without a proactive approach of myself regarding security.
