bugtraq is a moderated mailing list for hackers to tell the government and
corporations about 0day, governments and corporations should only discuss
the mission critical under a 0day disclosure.

the government or corporation should not disrespect the person who posted
the original advisory, the moderator should not let people downgrade the
severity or weight of an advisory post on bugtraq.

governments and corporations should thank hackers for posting a 0day
advisory in the first place, the moderator should not let someone called
gadi evron ruin the mailing list and scare hackers away.

more questions are going to be raised about gadi evron and the bugtraq
moderator, than what a 0day is, you have disrespected gnucitizen, you make
him not want to post anymore advisories, you make him scared to post again,
incase he says the wrong thing. he is scared he has said the wrong thing,
and doesn't know what is the right thing to say.

he just post his advisory about the 0day, he did not expect this kind of
reaction. the term 0day discussion has been blown out of all proportion
compared to the advisory post.

an advisory is just to warn you that a 0day exists in a product, it doesn't
mean full disclosure, its just an advisory, that somewhere a 0day is present
in the underground, and he or others may have created it.

it is 0day because you don't have the details yet about it. just because he
posts an advisory doesn't mean its not 0day anymore, its still very much
0day, because you don't know about it and no patch is there.

get over your ego trip gadi evron and leave the poor guy alone, he is scared
now, you have scared him.

i can't believe this guy used to work for the israeli government, its
unbelieveable his actions on bugtraq.
