Heh, folks, take a look at that website... One look at that hugeass font, the CAPS everywhere, and those doofy graphics, and you should realize right away that this page belongs on BBspot.com, not a security info site.

So this GRC dips**t has even less ground to stand on. :) I'd tell him so, but mysteriously, I can't find his email address anywhere on his website, not even on "Steve's Page," which has a picture of him at the top. He looks like a former Bee Gee or something.
