It was quite clear what was meant, even without looking at the linked prese=

Once again, nothing in my post said or referred to bandwidth; in fact, simp=
ly throwing bandwidth at the problem won't work, as attackers have access t=
o what are for all practical purposes near-infinite resources.
In future, it might be a good idea to ensure that the points one attempts t=
o make actually apply to the specific post to which one is replying. =20
