In reply to Technix's reply
#40,
I am well aware of that and accept the possibility that someone can sniff my session and use it to impersonate me. However those with access have very little to gain by impersonating me or taking over my account and locking me out, and the cost, effort and risks of doing so are relatively high, so its vanishingly unlikely unless I attract the ire of J Random Cracker who's been pissed off by some other Ian.M on the net, and even so, as I don't use WiFi, they would have to be in a position of trust somewhere in the network between my router and the EEVblog server.
If I was a public figure or political activist it would be a different matter.
I say again: How does my acceptance of an insecure session here compromise *YOUR* security?
