The tone of your initial post will more likely set the tone of this
conversation. Try to be more objective when you find technical
problems with security software that people trust. Saying "ssh - are
you nuts?!?" is kind of like yelling "fire" in a theater. It makes
you look like a troll (despite your claim that you are not), and it
trivializes anything important that you might have to say. Because
of your tone, it is unlikely that anyone here will take you seriously.
This is a shame considering that you might have important issues to
raise.
Good luck on your talk,
