It is wise to remember that although many of the posters on this list consider it "community" that we have lurkers with "other" intentions. This may vary from script kiddies to the media. Even when one exposes the issues in one's network/equipment/etc. one still airs dirty laundry. The trick is to make sure it stinks as little as possible. Unfortunately, the longer the dirty laundry sits at the bottom of the pile, the worse it will stink when it ends up on the top. On Fri, Apr 28, 2000 at 11:32:25PM -0400, Paul Ferguson wrote:
Not that I'm a money-grubbing, stock-sucking bastard, but speaking as a member of the "community", I'm a little spooked by how reckless journalism, and off-hand comments on mailing lists, affect peoples (read: companies) financial futures (this is actually just the tip of the proverbial iceberg).
