By any chance do you mean lemming? Just wondering...

OTOH, it seems that most of us choose our fights in this area, and
very few of us have not sacrificed security for convenience in some
way. My choice is to use browsers like Mozilla or Opera instead of IE
(both offer high-encryption versions, and where the former is weaker
than the latter at defeating intrusion, it makes up for it somewhat
by being Open Source), and avoiding software produced by obvious
monopolists using their software against you to help their marketing
research and discourage competition (including my OS). So I'm not
feeling especially like a Judas goat (or even a lemur! ;-)   ).
