Those who are newcomers to the list should know that Vulis has never presented any evidence substantiating his vague claims that Stronghold is insecure or has backdoors (or whatever the claims were). Vulis is conducting a personal vendetta against one of C2Net's staff members and anyone who happened to be or become associated with him.
Nor do I have to present any evidence. I'm not the one selling StrongHold.
Exactly, StrongHold is the one making the claims of security, it behooves them to address any and all criticisms of their product.
I have received several threatening communications from C2Net's lawyers, which were discussed at length on this list. To avoid unpleasant disputes I agreed not to disseminate my opinions about StrongHold. Please keep this in mind if you consider buying it.
Which is sufficient reason not to use the StrongHold product or anything else put out by them. Any company which desires to suppress opinions or discussion over their product clearly has something to hide. This is what I tell my customers and they seem to understand the utility of such an approach. Never support strong-arm tactics, honest people don't need them. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there | | be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. | | | | -Alan Greenspan- | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.
