Using SSH is just as easy as using Telnet, though, and avoids me having

has no noticeable penalty, then I gain the same warm, fuzzy feelings I
gain from using SSH --- even if I don't actually really need the encryption.
Okay, right, sure -- since we _can_ make things private, and users
sort of expect things they say over the internet to be private, we
definitely should, whenever possible.
I was just saying that I wasn't following why the original poster
thought that it was critical, rather than just a might-as-well,
occasionally people need it, sort of thing.
