Sometime Today, DRR cobbled together some glyphs to say:
illogical and uncalled-for. He has not yet been able to justify his
position as to how the meebo guys are untrustworthy while Yahoo! and
Ok, here's my justification. I spoke only of identity theft, you assumed
I was speaking of data security.
You send your Yahoo! password to Yahoo! - nothing wrong here
You send your MSN password to MSN - nothing wrong here either
You send your Yahoo! and MSN passwords to XXX - something wrong here
Now go back and read that again and please try to understand it.
Forgive me, but I'm one of the people who have to deal with users who
get their accounts stolen. I have to deal with that a lot. I hate
having to tell people that they've lost their Yahoo! IDs forever. I'd
much rather stop them from doing something stupid in the first place.
Yes, it's an issue of trust, and there is no reason to trust anyone. I
do not trust anyone. To yahoo, I only send data that they already
possess. To MSN, I only send data that they already possess. To a man
in the middle, I'd rather not send anything.
