Just as we are?

The locks only serve to keep honest people honest. We have some pretty
terrible locks from a hacking perspective. People picked the locks when
the keys were (pun) all locked up.

Still, I don't know of any of our stuff being sold on the street by
methheads. Does anyone know otherwise?

When we give out keys to people we trust, those same people have
expressed being filled with respect and admiration for our openness.
Many of those people are either now members in good standing or people
who often visit us from out of town.

Best,
Jake
