> Typical HN. How about someone answering the argument that will really be made by governments instead of the pointless one the NSA, etc have already answered. You can downvote me but you don't get a downvote in governments around the world when they outlaw real encryption.

I was ready to up-vote your argument because I agree with the first two paragraphs but the snark turned me off from supporting you. Leave it out next time and I you'll make a more convincing argument.

The up-vote wasn't about giving you karma, it's about making your comment more visible. If you didn't care about visibility than you wouldn't be posting in the first place.

Good point. In the future, I'll try to remember that I'm wasting my time. Too late to delete most of them.
