And that's the point. All those who won't post their QSI can examine it to their heart's content and point out their security concerns. Maybe we will learn something from their responses and maybe we won't.

My wife was big on kitchen-helping innovations of sorts. She started buying aluminum foil as a box of pre-cut sheets.

One day she held one up to me and said "Pre-cut tin foil hats!"
