This artificial "I'm so stupid, lots of other users must be too" is
grating. You've pretty much said that you're deliberately resistant to
learning in order to file more bugs. I'm not going to play that game.

No, sorry. It's clear that you don't understand the SSH protocol, so
please don't propose crazy ideas that are unworkable. Your reports of
problems are sufficient; unless you are willing to lift your resistance
to learning and put some effort into understanding system design before
you send mail, please don't propose solutions.
