First, my apologies to everyone I CC'ed accidently. I thought when I replied, it was replying to the post not to each email. I'm not used to replying to things in this manner, I usually only communicate with people one on one unless on a forum site.
Ha- Thanks for the advice, I'll look into that option too. Heq- Maybe it's rookie of me, but I wasn't aware of that limitation of malware, great info. I try to operate on the condition that anything I don't specifically try to prevent could happen, regardless of if I think it is or will be possible. Maybe it's paranoia, or OCD. Or both haha. I was aware of the difference between passphrase and password, apologies if I made it seem like I didn't. I tend to use whatever words come to mind sometimes and hope the context is enough to make it understandable, if I made a mistake it isn't the first time : ) Mic- Thanks for the reading material, and warning about the code of conduct. I'm usually wary of such things, but as I said, I wasn't aware of what I was doing until after I had been told so, and thought I fixed it the first time and apparently not so. Totally my fault and an oversight.
