   I am not going to respond to the personal remarks. They do not help the   
   discussion and they do not address the technical point I am raising.   
      
   What happened was I read the article that claimed Apple's WPS database was   
   uniquely both highly insecure and tremendously public - at the same time.   
      
   While that spells dire for anyone who is in the Apple WPS database, at   
   first I didn't worry because I've opted my AP out openly for many years.   
      
   And yet, when I checked, my opted-out AP was there, in the Apple WPS db.   
   I almost had a heart attack.   
      
   How could years of opting out of all other WPS db systems, not work only   
   for Apple's WPS database.   
      
   That's the fundamental flaw that I have proven exists in the Apple WPS db.   
      
   You can lambaste me for proving that flaw.   
   But I proved it nonetheless.   
      
   You can hate me for proving that flaw, Jolly Roger.   
   But you hating me for proving the flaw doesn't change that the flaw exists.   
      
   At this point, I'm redirecting my energies to trying to help Apple   
   executives make the correct moral, legal and ethical decision so that   
   hundreds of millions of people who opted out like I did, can be safer.
