I wasn't aware that this was a flame war.  Some are mature enough to
debate a subject without resorting to such silly things.

Care to actually back this argument up?  It is clear that you, like most
of us (there is nothing really wrong with it in my opinion) are a security
consultant.  You take what you enjoy and what you seem to be good at and
make a living from it.  There is nothing wrong with that as long as you
are honest about it.  Perhaps that is the problem.

Yes, and they did so based on some valid reasons but that does not take
away from the need for a standard.

So you are saying that by being responsible or even having a standard
somehow prohibits research?  Wow, if that is truly the case I can see why
you are so against a structured reporting policy.

And your point is?  You are right, there isn't a standard.  But that
doesn't mean that there shouldn't be one.

Yes, some do.  Again, highlighting the need for an accepted standard.

Judging by your opening lines, I think it is you Georgi who owns the 31337
s34rching skillz......
