Not everyone is that lazy when it comes to security. Get it?

With CryptoSMS you do NOT have to type the pass phrase every
time you write a message. You enter it at the start of the
CryptoSMS conversation, and all subsequent messages exchanged
use the same keys. Once the program exits, those keys are
destroyed. CryptoSMS is a secure SMS chat client. You would
know that if you had bothered to look.

I am only responding to your non-stop insults and put-downs,
even after you have repeatedly told others not to do the same.
As long as you continue to post statements like "low-quality
thought processes" I will continue to respond. You can "just
let it go" at any time by dropping the ad-hominem remarks.

What was it you said about people who feel the need to tear others down?
