I vote we stop saying stupid things on this list. I find that it can be a
very useful item, and using the password protection, quite safe. You don't
seriously use squid on a machine with user shells on? nor allow access to
the configuration file via cachemgr?. Your opinion is one, mine is
another. Whilst people still use the function, it will stay.

Oh, God is playing marbles,                  
With His Planets and his Stars,              35 Auld Burn Park,
Creating havoc through my life,              St Andrews,
With his influence on Mars ...               Fife,
