Yes, that about sums it up. And to those who wish to make this partisan, I would add, while I early on did couch one of my posts of concern with concerns about "the current administration", and then pointed out that I'd equally used the term concerns about "government", in the real political now, here in the United States, this is one issue that has crossed party lines. There many conservatives involved in questioning the over-arching intrusion by government into our lives, and there are alliances springing up between them and traditional liberals all over the place on specific aspects of this problem... And finally, going back to where this all began - I posted an excerpt of an article about the NSA and the Windows OS, and then I posed a very simple question, a query, a request for information - "What about Selinux?" Within hours, I was charged with being a "wingnut", "conspiracy theorist", "fanatic", and an Elvis spotter - if any of you perps who engaged in this crap believe you have dissuaded me from asking questions in the future, I can assure you that if anything, you've only egged me on - thank you... ;-) -- Claude Jones Brunswick, Md, USA
