RE: death of the security community

["John Vill" <kalookalaa () hotmail com>]

Its like video games... PC games used to rule and it was all good. Now 
people realize how much money can be made in that industry so theres just 
one crappy fps after another because consoles have taken over. Hmmm, maybe 
that was a little bit of a stretch but hopefully you get what I mean. I 
think the community is already dead. Its not the way it used to be and it 
won't be like that again anytime soon. It seems like the free flow of 
knowledge has been reduced to a few drops here and there. The fewer people 
who are learning about computer security the bigger the threat becomes.
