Subject: Important Notice about Security Watch Debate

The problem is that such an arrangement could go on and on -- Roberta
responds back, you respond again, ad infinitum. I am making plans to get
as many responses as possible published in some manner. But we're going
to keep it to one response for the newsletter, since most newsletter
readers aren't keen on reading pages and pages of content.

drawn.  
Anyone submitting 'essays' may get them published and then Roberta
Bragg's 
response to those essays is published.  Will the parties submitting the 
essays then be provided guaranteed space to rebut Roberta's responses?
In a 
truely open forum that would be allowed.

Perhaps some good advice for you would be:
1)  Learn how to program and how computers work (this does not include
VBA 
scripts in an application, although script kiddies do like some of
these).
2)  Practice, research, test, keep your mind open.  Implement truely 
scientific testing methodologies with no restrictions on what is tested
or 
how.
3)  Truthfully report what you learn with no preconceived notions or 
prejudices.

Is that not what true journalistic integrity is about?
