Bruce Tognazzini has a great column up this month on what he calls “Security D’ohLTs“: experts who add so many layers of incomprehensible security to a system that they lead users to build circumvention mechanisms. Anyone who’s seen an office where all the users have their network passwords on Post-Its stuck to their monitors knows what Tog is talking about — there can be such a thing as too much security, especially when it’s poorly thought out. (Thanks to Don Park for the pointer.)

If that's too hard to understand... well, I'm sorry. There's only so much I can do. I'm not a therapist, and I'm not a miracle worker. I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.
