Subject: Security Industry Under Scrutiny: Part One

Let's also not forget the systems people who would rather know about problems
so they can at least mitigate the situation by finding work-arounds, apply firewall
or router filters, and/or disable services. 

It's unacceptable to be left in the dark, no matter what the cost because the people
who aren't aware of a problem can't defend their hosts or networks.

Complaining about so-called whitehats, and the security community doesn't address
the above. 

People have a right to know about problems, assuming that the researcher is kind
enough to share the information.
