I am glad I had you up until there, I wanted to throw in a little controversy at the end and see how heated we could get the debate ;-)

Great list, thanks for putting this together. I have been on a push to make my world more secure after having been more lax than I should have been for a while now (kids, family, work, ...). I like your point about encryption of web sites, and was able to set up SSL very easily for my personal blog. It looks like there are a ton of alternatives all offering simple one click SSL, very different to even a few years ago!
