If your whole raison d'etre is to be a trusted source on privacy and security matters, then putting yourself in a position where you can't speak objectively about the organisation that controls 10% of the internet's traffic is massively compromising that. I'm sure Hunt will do his best, but how could anyone possibly make a fair judgement of something controversial like "Flexible SSL" when his livelihood is dependent on them?

I am sure that literally any one of our competitors would give Troy their service for free. He's free to leave whenever he wants. And he's 100% free to criticize us while remaining a customer.

I love that you're here ... and as transparent as possible. Thanks for the work you do in keeping the Internet running (and as far as possible - "safe".

Well, I've been here close to 13 years (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jgrahamc). Seems a shame to leave now.
