Hi,
Even how much I know about something, I cannot assume others know about
it if I want people to participate or understand. A highly technical
discussion highly filters out who can participate in it by a good deal.
Keeping a discussion user-friendly by going as far as pretending to
ignore the technical terms to help future participants not feel left out
is important in my opinion (someone on this list made me understand this
through my interactions with him/her). You can see that when I was
writing the blog post. I have no interest in showing off by shoving epic
technical words around or even going as close as stating the various
related RFCs. I put myself on a common level of understanding as any
reader and guide them through. I end up writing a lot and I am not a
great writer in any aspect (so mistakes/misunderstandings happen) but I
try my best :(
Sorry if some of you took my replies on the MIU list and the blog post
as being misleading or inconsistent. That was not the purpose of it. I
might know about how to work directly with raw sockets and the
procedures on how to secure a communication channel with asymmetric and
symmetric encryption all in a thread-safe environment but it does not
mean it is of interest to my readers or many on this list.
Sincerely, Mike
