I'm not sure you understand the purpose. Full disclosure is a toll feed bag. A hacker soap opera of magic, mystery, and intrigue. Seriously, when you subscribed were you expecting an 0day factory? Serious security research discussions? Some retard help forum? Those all exist in other places. Full disclosure is the TV show I watch while my coffee cools down. If it didn't have so many damn commercials it would be perfect. - DEAN On Fri, Jul 24, 2009 at 7:37 AM, mrx<mrx () propergander org uk> wrote:
I am new to this list, I am new to IT security, I have so far contributed very little if anything of actual value to this list. I have gained much insight from the vast majority of posts here, I will hopefully continue to do so. There are some intelligent and wise persons contributing to this list, then there are the trolls and those that encourage them by responding to their inane and or banal mutterings and diatribe. The temptation to belittle the ignorant troll is there, it is always there, but this is just food for them. This mail list is becoming more like a newsgroup with the bitching, backbiting and childish behaviour. Regardless of skill or ability, professionalism should reign supreme here. We are hardly paragons to our ilk if we respond in such a churlish manner or even respond at all to those who seek to disrupt the integrity of this list with mere words, outlandish claims and immature ranting. All unmoderated mailing lists and newsgroups are ripe for the troll exploit. However it can easily be mitigated, for without attention the troll shrivels and dies. Please do not feed the trolls for they are never sated. Please do keep the information flowing, I need all the help I can get. And thanks to the professionals for their contributions make a difference. A leet version of this text is not available, however please feel free to create one and keep it to yourself, full disclosure is not required in this instance. respetfully Acr0nym _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
