I can't help if Robert Lemos, Neal Krawetz gave false reports about n3td3v, that seems to have damaged us a lot and having to defend my position constantly to a bunch of aliases on full-disclosure because they believed something that was written in the media and had an expectation and when that expectation couldn't be met, they thought I'm a lie and a fake and the members of the n3td3v mailing list can't be real.
I hate to inject some actual reality, but a few things to consider: 1) 'n3td3v' was *already* widely regarded as a troll when Krawetz did his research - he picked 'n3td3v' *specifically because* it was regarded as the biggest security troll since Gobbles. 2) I suspect that the vast majority of full-disclosure readers either didn't know or didn't care about Krawetz's posting until you made a point of complaining about it and invoked the Streisand Effect on yourself. 3) The high troll factor of 'n3td3v' on the full-disclosure list scared off a very high percentage of the full-disclosure people who concluded that any list of 4,500+ run by a troll/idiot of the caliber seen on full-disclosure *must* be composed mostly of sock puppets and other trolls. Seriously - go back and re-read your postings over the past several years, and then ask yourself "What would *I* think about this poster if I didn't know who he was?".
