[Rhodes22-list] Does our website need SSL?

[Frederick Lange]

SSL is definitely needed.  Most internet security software, like Norton,
either gives a warning or requires active verification if there is no SSL.
Also, stay away from the www prefix as that's a common redirect target
these days.

Rick Lange
