All,

This link posted on the snort site. I figured I'd send it to the
list, since its a fascinating read.

My first impression was that it is a page defacement, so outrageous
some claims are. For instance, did you know that IDS actually _cause_
incident response to happen? :-) Or this gem : "Money Slated for

The sad thing is that there is many a pointy-haired manager who will 
read this, and, since it comes from _*GARTNER*_, will take it hook, 
line and sinker . . .
