Bug 259708: A human perspective

Greetings all,

I saw an interesting story today, by way of a Slashdot link 
(http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/10/06/1845236&tid=191&tid=134&tid=14), 
about a developer's persepective in reporting a vulnerability in Mozilla. The 
full story can be found here: 
http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/weirdal/archives/human259708.html

It's interesting to read the author's perspective, as he's a software 
developer and has never been a "security guy" per se.  The Slashdot article 
also talks about how well the FLOSS bug process worked.  Enjoy...

Cheers,

Ken van Wyk
