i am speaking not of the platonic perfect form of safety, of which any 
particular kind of safety is a mere imperfect reflection, but rather of a 
*very* particular kind of safety, that of the networks i operate. it is for 
me, and me alone, which is to say not for you, to say what kind of safety my 
network needs, or should have, or will have.
