> Perhaps this is natural? That is, you're looking for help so you're likely to have other flaws in your tool box. Can you explain what you mean by that? The way I'm reading that you seem to imply "looking for help" means that they have issues all over.

You're correct. But let me clarify. I'm not judging. We all have flaws, technical or otherwise. My point was to say, the universe of the sample has a bias of sorts. Kinda like, I have a dog. Well of course it barks. That's all. Make sense? Sorry?

  I'm afraid that didn't clarify anything for me. > the universe of the sample has a bias of sorts OK, what? > I have a dog. Well of course it barks. I'm with you there. Dogs bark. There's a correlation between the animal being a dog and it barking. How does that relate to your original post? I have plenty of flaws and gaps in my knowledge and I use SO because there are plenty of great answers on there. Just like there's wonderful threads like these: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/20803/how-does-ssl-tls-work http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/20803/how-does-s... on other parts of that same network of sites. I don't see how using SO, or any source of information on a topic to help you solve a problem implies or even correlates to not being a capable person in that or other areas in general.

    You're asking questions on a forum because you're stuck. You don't know. You might not even know what you don't know. You're disheveled. You're shirt isn't tucked in. So you're not going to know you're fly is down as well. The basic question is your shirt. The SQLi issue is your fly. Put another way again :) Is it reasonabke to expect someone struggling with a SQL question to get SQLi concerns right? Fuck me. They can't get the query. Do you really think they're thinking about injection? There! Any better? That's all I got. :)
