   @Lee_Holmes @Viss How can I evangelize that Write-Host is almost always wrong? (And also break myself of the habit.)

     @horse @Lee_Holmes when i posted about the whole 'microsoft has said rotating pastwords on a schedule is obsolete. stop doing it' thing, 99% of responders were like WHOA WAIT WHAT? and like 10 angry greybeards were like BUT NIST SAID THAT SHIT IN 2016!

     it ended up just being a giant public measure of "who actually reads nist documentation", to which the answer was "something like 1 percent of folks".

     @horse @Lee_Holmes

     so tl;dr:

     if you want people to know something, dont put it in goverment compliance documentation. instead, make it plain english, easy to grok, and if you can make it fun or entertaining in some way.

     Jake Hildreth (acorn) :blacker_heart_outline: repeated this.

     @Viss @Lee_Holmes For serious, though, I did an evangelization talk about the Protected Users group last year and had several people talking to me about it afterward. Time to look for an open CFP.

     @horse @Viss @Lee_Holmes I would buy that sticker. Also, where can I find information about Protected Users?
