Larry, Microsoft Internet Explorer is not a car. Were it a car, it still wouldn't be yours more than it would be mine. "Disclosing a problem to the public" is not "driving it off". Depending on whether I compare finding vulnerabilities to nursing an orphaned baby squirrel, or running over the elderly, I can appeal to different emotions of the public. But that does not mean anything, and you know this. So, do tell, why are informed, computer-savvy people so desperate to make inadequate, half-baked analogies to real life to "prove" their opinions? /mz _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
