You started a new subject - clearly a rant

*I* [1] complained that PFW's fool people into thinking that they are
more secure - an idea you reject *AND* support in the same post [2]
clearly shown in [3]

You quoted only *MY* text - now you're talking "several other posters"
who are you ranting anyway

In your explanation [4] you're leaving out one of both relevant
paragraphs from [3] and provide a stupid excuse

I pity you - Get Some Sleep
