I am not arguing with you and I am not arguimg with you. I am stating a fact the the many of the users on the forum are inexperienced ... and that it is irresponsible for you to suggest that replacing the index.php file makes the site secure.

I explained why it was necessary to delete all the files. And explained that there are other methods that experienced IT experts can use. Also I explained that your method was not suitable for inexperienced users.
I did not 'defame' you ... all I did was point out you make c. 40 posts asking basic questions then start a thread that has inaccurate and incomplete information.
You are the one that is arguing, you argue when an experienced moderator has the need to edit your posts. And you argue 'black is white' when the facts are placed in front of you. Then you accuse me of just pointing to a 'sticky' thread.
The crux of the matter is that you posted information that was not accurate and could mislead inexperienced users to ignore the most effective method. My posts were(and are not) personal attacks on you. My posts are for the inexperienced users who may have read your posts so they could see the flaws in the logic of what you posted.
