We'll have to agree to disagree on that one then. The number of times
I've had to deflate situations where people have believed some of the
crap that guy spouts is quite astonishing.

I do understand that people need tools to enable them to ascertain
their system security/integrity but people also need non-inflamatory,
unbiased, sound advice. I don't think they get that from grc.

YMMV of course.

Cheers,
Al.
