Since when did I start answering to you? If you can't find your own
information you'll just have to starve for information like the rest of
the ignorants.

I think the problem you have is accute-can't-agree-itis. Nobody is
saying SHA-1 is totally ineffective today. If you think that's what
I'm saying it's because you're looking for an excuse to disagree with

I'm sure by time you're a big boy you won't be braging about being all
old and mature.

So what? You go to high schools and brag to the kids "look I'm a
