I think Levi's point was that you were attacking the policy of saying things like "the first rule of security" which was a colloquial phrase never meant to be taken seriously, let alone criticized as you arguably had indeed done. I don't think "obscurity" as a word or a concept is important to Levi's point here. Arguably, any time someone rants about anything it can be taken as an attack. This short deal I'm writing now could easily be taken so. Your particular rant was fairly abrasive in the treatment of the subject matter you were discussing, without really separating Merrill from the subject matter, so it's an easy conclusion to draw. I don't think it was your intent, but you didn't dodge it either. Just saying. > <snip some other stuff> Carry on... -Tod Hansmann /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
