Brock,

You’ve made it clear that you prefer to focus on the person rather than 
the protocol.

My "investigation" has yielded exactly what I sought: a clear 
understanding of the cryptographic dependencies between a developer's 
standing with Apple and the viability of their software. Whether you 
label that "obsession" or "due diligence" doesn't change the technical 
reality of how Gatekeeper and OCSP function.

If you think technical scrutiny of a commercial product is "nonsense," 
we simply have different standards for system security. I’m happy to 
leave the moralizing to you; I’ll stick to the technicals.

Rest easy — my "obsession" is with my own system's integrity, not the 
developer's personal feelings.

David
