I'll take it one step further.
Mr. Hutchins never responded to questions raised by Mr. Largo.
Mr. Hutchins may have multiple PhD's in "Internet Security" with 
decades of experience.
*I DO NOT*
I am actually an "END USER". I've been told I am an 
"administrator" *SOLELY* because I'm the ultimate authority of 
the multiple systems residing on my table top .

Mr. Largo has evidently done his "homework".
He, and those like me, deserve a polite/germane/relevant response.
