Perhaps not everyone who uses OpenBSD has your depth of understanding of all these processes, Theo. You're obviously intimately acquainted with them, but it is possible Rod might not have been. You make very salient points about the suggestion being completely unfeasable, but it seems quite possible that Rod thought he was making a simple suggestion to solve a perceived problem. Reading between the lines, it seems likely that Rod is also a subscriber to the disc set and might perhaps feel a little taken aback at the vehemence of the response. And yes, it might be that he's just some schmoe with a mate who's gonna give him this password he's suggesting... But to assume that would also assume a much greater depth of thought than you've otherwise attributed.
