>Of course it is reputable. Its on blogspot, a free web host known for exclusivity and high standards. Robert Graham, aka ErrataRob, is well-known and well-respected in the information security industry. Although you obviously wouldn't know this just from his Blogspot subdomain (and I agree he should probably just register an actual domain name), his content should also stand on its own merit. There is a lot of crap code on Github and there are a lot of idiots on Twitter, but you shouldn't discount all users of a service because of the quality of some of its users. Hell, that goes for HN, too.

He sounds real thorough, too. > ...[the problem] we should insist on fixing it. Wait, I was under the impression that no backdoors exist and even if it did, everyone does it, anyway, like the author claims. > ... there are a lot of idiots on Twitter ... Don't forget blogspot and HN. This site isn't just for editorials from Forbes and the New York Times after all, it also features lots of PR from Techcrunch and kickstarter. ;)
