and herein is the crux of the apparent problem... why "you" (inclusive and 
apparently meaning VRT)... why not ET? especially since they are, at least, 
willing to provide the rules in a format that older snorts can handle and

who owned them to start with? who maintained them to start with? why are they 
now as they are?
