So, I was going to link to certain xkcd comics that this thread
reminded me of, to point out the vanity of these excessive concerns
over security.
But then I clicked to the next comic. And the next. Each one evoked a
more keen sense of existential futility than the last. So I asked
myself, "really, what's the point in replying?"
True story.
