Guys, there is no way this group is going to resolve this huge difference
of opinion in the industry in this occurance of the thread, any more than
we did the last 53 times it occurred here, or the thousands of other
times it's been fought across the 'net.

The fact that it started out with the childish insults in the SECOND
email in the entire thread should be ample proof of that.


There is a huge segment of the industry that thinks publishing exploits is
a bad thing, which will result in people getting hurt.  This segment
includes some of the best and brightest in our ranks, and they use 
well-reasoned logical arguments to prove their case.

for years getting fixed.  This segment includes some of the best and

So can we just shut the eff up about the whole argument and go on with
our lives, please?  Go argue about this over in Bugtraq or something.
