FD does not exchange malware. Humans do not knowingly send malware here.
FD suffers from, mostly, mindless sending infected users.

They un-awares and indiscriminately send malware here, and infect users.

We are not *about* sharing samples on TH-Research, but exchanges do 
happen, when members send, knowingly, samples.

TH-Research is not a full disclosure list, it is a free, although 
closed-subscribe-policy list.

TH-Research is not FD, so there is no issue in discussing it.

FD has thousands of users who get every virus, much like they get every 
annoying email in this annoying thread.

TH-Research's charter, although not about *samples*, allows for them. 
FD's does not.

TH-Research's users are mostly AV researchers, FD's are mostly not.

That's the last I'll respond about TH-Research here, as it is off-topic.
