for what purpose? there is nothing to be gained from pointing fingers, and takes the discussion in an even more unrelated direction.

although i guess people's curiosity is also dragging my comment in an unrelated direction anyways. lose-lose situation.

my main point is that the account number method is really nice, and a great selling point for such privacy-conscious products. not offering it in a privacy-conscious product is enough signal that it has made me choose not to purchase the product. that's the important bit, and where i was hoping to drive the conversation.

Incorrect. Pointing out bad products is a warning to other people to not waste time on it. We should be doing it more, not less.

I also have no idea what company/service you're talking about

Because it creates confusion as proven by the responses mistakenly assuming that you were referring to proton.
