The tone of your initial post will more likely set the tone of this conversation. Try to be more objective when you find technical problems with security software that people trust. Saying "ssh - are you nuts?!?" is kind of like yelling "fire" in a theater. It makes you look like a troll (despite your claim that you are not), and it trivializes anything important that you might have to say. Because of your tone, it is unlikely that anyone here will take you seriously. This is a shame considering that you might have important issues to raise.
