I wrote about the internet in Mauritius. Which e-commerce web site
is there doing two transactions a minute?

If you wish to follow the above-mentioned experience you will be
competing with people offering web sites for Rs 6000. The skills
required to create such a web site is low. Would you be able to
compete in such a market?

The above argues that it is not possible to do anything as web
frameworks are complex. I gather that we should stop talking about
security on this mailing list as the problem cannot be solved.
