Sarcasm noted, but that _is_ standard operating procedure for iDEFENSE.

As I have argued several times before, for example (sorry, URL will 
wrap):

http://lists.netsys.com/pipermail/full-disclosure/2005-
January/030971.html

it seems that at iDEFENSE, having a spiffy, bells-and-whistles website 
that is over-designed by folk with no security clue whatsoever is much 
more important than being a security company.  Now, even MS (at least 
after a bit of borax was poured on it) fixed their security bulletin 
pages so script-disabled browsers could view the entire contents of the 
page, but iDEFENSE steadfastly doesn't, so I guess we can all tell what 
that means about iDEFENSE's business focus.  (Read the above-linked 
item for a more detailed explication of all this.)
