It's no wonder you guys have all these striking analogies about
why full-disclosure is inherently the work of God -- you are
all making money off it.

If you really cared so much about the security of the Internet,
you'd do it as a volunteer or work in the non-profit academic 
arena. Otherwise, you have no choice but to defend to the death 
the ideology that gives you your weekly income.

The fact remains that the security industry is actually worse
than the corporate greed of companies like Microsoft, because
while these vendors capitalize on need, perhaps without
business ethics, you guys capitalize on fear, which you do
everything possible to induce. It's basic business principles:
you create the need to harvest the profit. So essentially
you guys need to instill fear in the public in order to make
a quick buck. You also need to maintain a state of insecurity
in order to profit. It's as simple as that. If the Internet
was secure, you guys would go out of business. We don't want
that, do we?

Great work, you angels.
