We're already elite and big... and writing off 4000 subscribers as talentless is a bad idea. The global elite are subscribed... I can't tell you who are on the members list who are eavesdropping for privacy reasons, but the big boys are subscribed. It would also be wrong for me to name drop for moral reasons. Getting them to move from sleeper eavesdropping mode into being active participants is the next step in n3td3v history. Considering the group only stopped being a mailing list mirror in summer 2007, it is already beginning to develop into a self supporting interactive user driven community. Watch this space Valdis, you will be eating your words further down the years. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
