True dat. The whole internet is based upon "Store and forward".
Of course it's not technically forwarding. It's copying.
Internet isn't, wasn't, can't ever be secure. Nature of the
beast. -- Yup. And - did you ever take a look at all the fancy
encryption schemes out there? All big promises of high prime
number security transfer? Wanna know how to beat it? Look under
the right person's keyboard and find where they wrote the
password they had to change for the 12th time that month. - Oh
deterrents are a good thing, Erek. My beef is with the marketing
of security and privacy over a medium that's inherently insecure
at its root. There's always going to be holes. It's a leaky
bucket with an open bottom. Marketing makes it worse. Think of
all the poor users of Snapchat, who are sold the idea that their
stuff gets deleted. They believe it. It's not true. I find that
kind of marketing distasteful but what can I do, except educate
ppl here and there. -- That's true. It's not useless. Hackers
are the best thing for security though. You can't plug holes you
don't know are there, and they will always find them. My
favorite method of security? Use ancient protocols everybody's
forgotten about. --
