If I want to read them I'll know where to look. My point was that you failed completely to mention that your proposal, as published, does *not* in fact affect the real password files and is therefore only part of the solution. If you had mentioned that it was incomplete and that the stuff to come in future parts was essential, then there would be no problem. As it stands, it is dangerous misinformation that pretends to be helpful. Please don't just start typing at the top of quoted material. If you have something to add, put it after the quoted stuff that it refers to. And please don't keep this going on the stable mailing list -- it's off-topic. | Half full or half empty?
