Oh, and when is that rude O'Shea't going to learn to use Google to check
my claim about OpenDNS redirecting Google to their own servers where
they run a proxy (effectively a man-in-the-middle between you and
Google) that has full access to your Google tracking cookie and search
terms?

Running a proxy is a man-in-the-middle attack, eh? So that means that when I
run a proxy at the office I'm doing a MTM on... myself. Yeah. Right.


Everybody interested - including JJ - knows this to be the case
already. I've known that for over a year, for instance.

The DNS problem is just one of several long-running problems with the way the
Internet works. It's serious, but not nearly as serious as he tries to make
out.


He was asking why you initially recommended them and then slagged them
off two days later. I'm interested in that too.

<sfx of crickets chirping >


I hope that when he finally gets off his arse and checks that
he'll then come back and give me a grovelling apology. I've wasted
enough time on him myself and, given his unprovoked hostility, I don't
feel he deserves my help in the first place.

Your continued ranting and complaints about being slandered and
ignored (a tricky combination) by the group in general is quite enough
for you to be asked to stop it.

He's a nutter. It's that simple.


Note that no-one is saying you're wrong about the seriousness, but
everyone is saying that you're wrong about the priority.
