It was silly of Jason to claim that he was invulnerable. Especially to
claim that invulnerability by virtue of running Linux (that was the only
thing in his headers that I saw that would be appropriate to his claim.

It would be far sillier of Jason to visit any old site that I threw at him
as a challenge to whatever protection methods he has. I feel no need to
make such a challenge, and Jason should feel no need to visit sites that
others throw his way as a challenge.

Are you engaged in a peeing-for-distance contest, or trying to encourage
people to act in the interests of keeping themselves protected?

Alun.
