   Hi Winston,   
      
   I respect your acumen so I will explain things to you at an adult level.   
   OK?   
      
   The fact that you're purposefully amplifying trolls notwithstanding,   
   I would like to open your eyes to an analogy to privacy called hygiene.   
      
   Personal and foodstuff hygiene is a million little things, right?   
   How much do you think most people know about basic hygiene?   
      
   For example, how many times have you heard someone claim they "sterilized"   
   water by boiling it? Or that they took an antibiotic for a common cold?   
   Or that their food was sterile (e.g., milk, fruits, vegetables, etc.)?   
      
   My undergrad A.B. degree, as everyone here knows, is in microbiology, so I   
   know things about bacteriology, virology, parasitology, mycology, prions,   
   phages, immunology, physiology, organic and inorganic chemistry, etc.   
      
   You can't pass those classes without learning a lot of details, right?   
   There are a million things I know about basic hygiene as a result.   
      
   I could say that out of the million things I know about hygiene, most   
   people probably know about a half dozen of them, which is my point.   
      
   You could argue that my vast knowledge of hygiene is that proverbial   
   tin-foil hat that you seem to be intimating is full of unseen holes.   
      
   But I could equally as well argue I know a lot that you might not know.   
      
   It's been my experience that when people like Frank Slootweg hurl personal   
   insults at people who simply said that they would rather use a free   
   product, that those people are applying their knowledge of hygiene.   
      
   Yet, they only know about six of the million things they need to know.   
      
   Hence, my logically sensible argument is that Frank Slootweg's insults   
   hurled at me simply for using well-known free products, are unwarranted.   
      
   Since you appear to be amplifying Frank Slootweg's unwarranted trolls, may   
   I ask you why you appear to deprecate the use of reliable free products?   
      
   Why are you amplifying the trolls when it seems their argument is false?   
   --   
   When people deprecate privacy, it's because they don't understand it.
