As a means to further moderate my slightly inflammatory comments, let
me just say that for *me* if it happens to be useful for others that
*fantastic*, but if it's not, that's no problem either. If someone
else chooses not to use it I don't really care. Does that make sense?

realising that none of us want to implement half-baked security and
that true security is potentially a very complicated issue.
