dan's the discoverer, and in the current model, the discoverer always gets
to choose who gets to know.  i like this model, since i may be a discoverer
myself some day, and besides that, i want to encourage discoverers to share
responsibly, which wouldn't happen if the first thing that happened to them
was some kind of gag order.  (i didn't decide who got to know; dan did.)

are you suggesting that a world where the discoverer doesn't get absolute
control over the method and schedule of disclosure would be better somehow?
if so, can you describe that world, and explain why i'd want to live in it?

(in case this isn't obvious, i havn't been enjoying the show.  watching dan
get bitched for doing the best bug disclosure i've ever seen, really sucks.)
