Dear all: Just a quick clarification -- I don't have anything to do with either product -- in fact about 30 minutes ago my snort box bare-metaled itself quite neatly so im out of the snort business for a day or 2 -- I didn't comment either way on either product, and in fact in contacted both vendors (before the box blew up) to learn a bit more about their products. And both were kind enough to contct me back (thanks guys) Personally -- I don't mind seeing notices of upgrades or new featuers, but I guess if I had an opinion it would be to not post sale notifications / promotions on this type of list -- prehaps a parallel list for that sort of thing Anyway - -I think the kitty is up to a total of .06USD at the moment Hope you all have a GREAT night!!

Seeing as you are a competitor in the market, we are not at all surprised, however we are not in the market to make enemies with petty or snide replies/comments. Just a few facts; A quick search of the newsgroup shows "Applied Watch" in approximately 99 postings, and "Aanval" in approximately 91 postings. I don't see any clear advantage or abuse of the group here. Aanval is also in the tag-line of several posters who are resellers of the product, which accounts for roughly 75% of those postings containing our product name. administration () remoteassessment com posted 23 times dating back to spring of 2004. eric.hines@appliedwatch posted 78 times since spring of 2004. Our postings to the forum have been rather moderate in our opinion, 15 for 2006, 4 for 2005 and 4 for 2004. Many users of snort first find information regarding consoles, interfaces, appliances and other snort solutions (Free or commercial) through the use of the Snort Users Group. Regardless if the product is clearly indicated in the subject line, or hidden in a tag line we believe it serves the same purpose. We've just received several emails from list members/clients with an opposing view, who indicate they have an interest in seeing information on existing products, improvements, etc through the snort group for all vendors. We agree with your comments on not wishing the group to become a commercial highway, however this clearly isn't happening since Aanval was introduced (3 years ago). To be honest, if the Applied Watch Dashboard is updated or enhanced with new features, I am sure the majority of snort users would love to hear about it. If not, they do as I do and delete irrelevant topics as I almost did this one. And my .02 makes .04 ./Loyal On Nov 2, 2006, at 4:21 PM, Eric Hines wrote:-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 OK I'm so sick of these Remote Assessment commercials tothis list andcan't bite my tongue anymore regarding their blatant use ofthis listfor posting coupons and holiday specials. Why is Remote Assessment allowed to send coupons andpricing specials(like the Halloween special on 10/31) to this list as wellas productannouncements? Where does this stop? Yes, and before some of you throw it back to us, Applied Watch has /mistakenly/ did a REPLY-ALL to the snort-users list in thepast whensending an email to someone but never blatantly emailed pricing specials like we saw earlier this week and now this one from Remote Assessment. I understand that Aanval is offered as a restricted freeversion, butif the company sells it as a product, I don't see why Remote Assessment should be allowed to announce to this list new product releases. If this is the case, than Applied Watch and all the other Snort integrators out there should be able to assume thesame posture.If the Snort management product is completely free -- a true open source product and is not sold or offered as a commercial solution, then I think they should have the right to announce to this list. However, products such as Aanval and ActiveWorx shouldn't(I've seenJeff Dell do the same thing in the past). If this is the case, Applied Watch's Dashboard is free sotherefore weshould be allowed the same rights to using this list as a marketing and sales vehicle that these other companies are. I have nointerestin posting commercials for Applied Watch to this list, so aline needsto be drawn in the sand and I think its only fair thatannouncementsto this list for Snort products be limited to strictly freesolutionsthat have no commercial version. There's my 2 cents.
