The stub doesn't have anything to do with it you obsessively
stragrabbing nitwit. Truecrypt and Bestcrypt aren't full disk
encryption programs. Learn to live with that and quit trying to
redefine them just to sooth your bruised ego.

No nitwit, they don't.

No nitwit, it isn't.

You're the one ignoring accepted terminology here nitwit. Even
Jetico and Truecrypt don't define THEIR OWN PRODUCTS the way you
and Goobersnot are trying to. You've been spanked by those
definitions repeatedly, spanked by independent cites that refuse to
define them the way your two nitwits are trying to, and spanked by
at least a couple independent definitions of WD/FD that clearly
show Truecrypt and Bestcrypt don't fall into that category.

How much spanking is enough for nitwits like you anyway?
