Not quite sure what you mean there. Have posts been deleted?
Not by me.
However I will not be passing on any info again for fear of attack.
But then again that is what this board is famous for. Shoot before asking questions.
Well I hope you'll think again. It's a useful post, and I have no doubt it was posted with good intentions. And I very much hope that this particular forum isn't really famous for a hostile response. I don't think that's true, and, if it is, yours is the first complaint that I've had.
At the risk of being corrected by
Flying Lawyer, I believe we do need to take a little care over copyright - not an issue in this particular case, as you have the permission of the author, but it's worth crediting material posted here if it isn't original. A block quote summary and a link elsewhere is also a good way of doing it.
I'm slowly putting together a FAQ to guide the non-technical (our 'target audience' here) in making their system secure. Unless you have an objection I'll include the original post in it.
