And lest there be any misunderstanding, my concern was that Jon implied that all of our personal messages might be able to be seen by others than whom they should. Joe finally got around to answering that that is not the case, that only he, Jeff and Max can access our personal pages and that is only done when it is absolutely necessary. Had those questions been answered immediately, the thread wouldn't have got to where it did.

As to the threats to security, I never saw them. What I saw was that this site, like many others, has flaws. When they are discovered, they are fixed. In fact, given that this is an all volunteer site, I would say that is done very well.

And finally, no one was attacking Joe, especially for the job he is doing. There was a question raised by a very irresponsible post. Once the question is raised, the way to put it to bed is to just answer it. The way to cause considerable turmoil is to act like someone is out or order for asking that which has been laid in front of them. You can't put the genie back in the bottle. I am glad that it is over.
