Agreed. I'm no security expert, and I realize I occasionally might say
something giggle-worthy, but it's a horrible response to input on this
list. Even when I'm "wrong" I'm usually driving at some reasonable
point. What I'd like to see is the same attitude I use regarding REST
issues -- using my advanced knowledge to re-phrase something a newb has
said, or otherwise surface whatever nugget of sense they're burying
under improper terminology -- applied to this discussion.

My most giggle-worthy customer ever was Jim Benson, because who in
their right mind would start up a business around private rocket motors
in the late 90's, leaving behind a productive computer-science career:

If we hadn't sold the domain name of our joint venture (dreamweaver.com)
for buku bucks, I might have been tempted not to take him seriously. As
it is, his motors never failed until recently with Branson's spaceship,
but only after Jim died and the fuel was re-formulated with NOS.

Mr. Benson died of cancer, shortly after selling SpaceDev for $38m.
Giggle about THAT.
