What, exactly, is a 'normal' browser?

[~BD~]

Actually, if you used a normal browser, you would see that there is no
error
I feel that my reputation is safe,
You are a troll, plain and simple.
I feel that our customers can easily distinguish between a competent
professional (Paul and I) and a complete idiot troll (you)

So - I wonder where in the world you are today Mr Komar (your message
timed
at 0916 GMT - somewhat earlier in Canada?)

Perhaps, as a competent professional, you can explain why the error
was/is
noticed when using Firefox 3.0.4. I am uncertain why you said "if you
used
a normal browser" - surely many folk now use Firefox, don't they? Is it
not
a *normal* browser?

I appreciate that Mozilla *might* be at fault, so have submitted an
error
report accordingly [Successfully Transmitted Report RMO12289055928792]
Should there be an error at their end, I'm sure they will correct it.
I'll
let you know. I'm a little surprised though, that "as a competent
professional", you had not checked your own web site using Firefox.

You have further confused me. How would I ever come into contact with
your
customers (so that they may have to distinguish between us?)
I *was* going to contact one of them, but you don't seem to have any!

Folks, please don't feed the troll.

 

[~BD~]

I will parry with mentioning yet another error spotted on your web
site.

On this page http://www.identit.ca/events.html you will note that the
dark grey 'bar' is about three-quarters of the way down the page
instead
of being at the bottom as it is on other pages on your site.

Perhaps, as supposedly an IT professional, you should put your own house
in order.

You've been told before:

1. Your comments about our web site don't matter, we don't care.
2. This is not the correct forum to be discussing this even assuming point
#1 wasn't the case, which it most certainly is.

You need to put YOUR house in order and stop trolling these news groups and abusing this
service and the *good* people like Paul Adare.

Thanks for the kind words David.

Good? Sheesh, at least Brian goes out to dinner! Paul just hides.

Some things are a matter of personal judgement, Mr Lipman.

IMO, *good* people here do NOT answer queries thus:-

******************************************

I have neither the time nor the inclination, nor is this an
appropriate
forum, to educate you on how news readers function.

*******************************************

The mere fact that folk chose to respond to queries from the thousands
of users of Microsoft products does not, necessarily, mean that they are
good guys. Good guys have absolutely nothing to fear from me and/or my
posts.

The bad guys *always* make mistakes!

My post subject question here in this thread has not been answered, nor
has my original query regarding the French language appearing in message
reference info, thus:-

A query, Joson.

I do not recognise your first name - and your second is unusual too
(to me!)

I also noted that the information hereafter appeared in the response
to you
from NT:-

I started this thread with this question to you Mr Komar:-

"So - I wonder where in the world you are today Mr Komar (your message
timed at 0916 GMT - somewhat earlier in Canada?)"

You declined to answer what I consider to be a reasonable and civil
query. That is your prerogative, of course.

It is noted, however, that your post today is similarly timed, thus: 11
December 2008 09:45 GMT


Another VERY early start to your day if, indeed, in Canada ............
but you could, of course, be anwhere in the world quite legitimately.

On the other hand, you may not be whom you say you are. Perhaps the
security services will pay *you* a visit just as they did Peter Foldes.

I don't expect 'warmth' as you put it David H Lipman - I seek only the
truth.

I am asking questions - in *Security* newsgroups - which may have
implications for the security of our respective nations, not just
computers. This you have totally failed to grasp. I doubt if you would
recognise a suicide bomber if he/she were to jump into your vehicle with
a gun in his/her hand - I hope, of course, that never happens to you
............ but it could.

Just try and think outside of the box for a change. Please.

Off your medications a lot, I see.

What has a computer security newsgroup (hosted by a company that markets
computer programs) got to do with the security of nations?

No! Don't even answer the question. It was rhetorical in nature.

I don't even want to know how you can justify posting your nonsense here
where it doesn't belong.

You must be a very lonely person (caused by your own doing) if you think
that just because someone answers your drivel that they are your friend
and buddy.

Hi Mike - thanks for reading ........ and posting your comment!

You may or may not have noticed the post to which Mr Komar was replying
(in a different group) so I'll copy below to save you looking further
afield. No-one has responded to my question at the end by the way!

Cheers

Dave

Veuillez ramper de nouveau dans le trou que vous êtes venu de.
Merci,
Brian

To save others reading here simply wondering., the approximate
translation
of Mr Komar's comment is:-
"Please crawl again in the hole that you came from. Thank you"

This is not the type of answer one might expect to receive from the top
man of a
major commercial operation, viz:

Well, that is what is says here http://www.identit.ca/management.html

I truly wonder if this is fact or fiction. Does anyone reading here know
this firm and/or the people?

Dave

 

[Martin Rublik]

I don't know them personaly however I read the usenet groups on reuglar basis.
These people provide here very valuable advices and for free.

Also one of the best book I read on PKI was written by Brian Komar. This book is
a very good combination of theortical and practical aspects of PKI and I would
say a must read for everyone working with Microsoft implementation of PKI.

To sum this up, http://www.identit.ca/management.html is describing these people
well.

Best regards

MR

Thank you for your post Martin.

I have no doubt that Mr Brian Komar is 'real'.

One can find detail here
http://www.informit.com/authors/bio.aspx?a=EF48B5E3-0C94-4DB0-8C65-65483B38D401
and here http://www.tec2009.com/vegas/agenda/directory/speaker_bios.php
(he looks like a nice chap!)

There's more here
http://www.informit.com/authors/bio.aspx?a=EF48B5E3-0C94-4DB0-8C65-65483B38D401

I'm sure others will notice the similarity in name of 'identit' and
'informit' - coincidental? Perhaps.

These web sites say that Mr Komar lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

The Mr Komar posting here, the President of Identit, has his office in
Burlington, Ontario http://www.identit.ca/contact.html

Google maps tells me it's 2176 km by car from one location to the other,
a 21 hour drive and no doubt some hours by plane!

I hope some reading here will forgive my scepticism in thinking
something here does not ring true.

Once again there may be a simple explanation. I'm all ears!

Dave
