     There was no "intelligent technical description". There was only a   
   rant and AJL's response. So I called a spade a spade.

     As all others who emit the personal-attack fallacy, the "childishness"   
   is all yours.

     I don't think I was the one throwing slurs about "slums", so remember,   
   if I 'throw a punch', it's always *after* *your* first.

     You obviously *are* responding, like you do every time, because you   
   can't handle being talked back at.

     There wasn't one, only your slurs.

     Well, 'silly gimmicks' like encryption are unneeded if you use PIN or   
   biometrics, etc.. (And understand how Android phones *actually* work.)   
      
     But anything you don't use (read: understand) is wrong, isn't it?
