well, i may have to also agree that my choice phrasing was abit... imature.
next time i will wait to reply after my 2 cups of coffee. ( thanks for
the deserved slap in the face Jason )

however, i still stand by the fact that full disclosure style of reporting
security flaws has prompted many vendors to be more dilligent in fixing
issues and working with persons who discover vulnerabilities, as well
as doing more in-house testing and auditing.

further, IMHO, it is better to have exploit code publicly
available than solely being controlled and utilized by the blackhat
underground, which makes the internet an actual safer place for
everyone. ( see previous paragraph )

cheers,
mw
