You verified Curt Purdy's certification. Congratulations. Now verify that Curt Purdy posted the message. (I'm not claiming that he did or didn't, and don't know Curt Purdy at all.) You, like the OP, might be putting too much trust in where an email says it's from.
People, we all know that certs are meaningful only within a certain context. Curt made a simple mistake--he probably posted that before he fully thought about the issue. Happens to all of us. Judging him by his certs, or vice-versa, is petty and pointless. I have an idea. Since we've apparently decided that "full disclosure" equates to "no real topic control," let's make the best of it by trying to help each other through infosec issues, not blastinganyone who posts a misspelled word or a poorly thought-out statement/question into their component molecules. Debates over
the validity of an infosec-related point are useful and constructive; character assassination and personal attacks are not. I can't speak for the rest of you, but if people stopped making mistakes, I'd personally be out of a job. ;-) m5x _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
