Open it up in a text editor and tell me how unreadable it is. For that
matter, how human readable is the sqlite database that you are
advocating as worse?

I'm not attacking you personally. I am reminding you that you do not
know enough about the technology to make an informed decision. Look
further up in the thread, you will see that as soon as the level went
over my own head I declared that I am of no further use as well. Don't
be sensitive, be reasonable. Nik's security is at stake, take that
seriously.

I understand Nik's concern, and I realize that you are trying to help.
But this is not your field. Your efforts are appreciated, but you are
declaring incorrect statements. I fully expect that you and I will
help one another in future threads, and I will of course value your
opinion and your advice in areas of your expertise. But for the sake
of Nik's security, please do not cloud this issue with misinformation.

Excellent. I suggest that you start a new thread and don't hijack
Nik's. I will help you on that thread. To be on the safe side, email
me off list with the subject, because I don't read every message on
the 40+ lists that I subscribe to.

That is why I asked Nik from who is he protecting his information.
