That’s a wish, not a computer security expert, and I’m not making a statement about the brands we deal with, the purchases we make and the rest of the stuff that is patently stupid to send a properly formatted brochure…” Well, if the only reason you’re charging is to tell the Times and its readers that if you’re dealing in stuff that’s super confidential – like medical records or which Congressman is breaking which law – then you’ve got my attention.
