That's why I wrote 'before 2003'... reading is difficult, arrogance is 
easy I see in your response, the arrogance of a Symantec I would like to 
say, but you still interest me ;-)
I see differences, it's called delayed disclosure and it's called 
symantec (who has more securityproblems with it's own products than any 
other security software supplier(?) :-) and it's called $ to pay for 
information which used to be free before securityfocus 'went commercial'
http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2002-July/000143.html
remember? that's the moment you went rich and blind :-)
if you don't see it, all that yellow stuff is blinding you or the money 
is blinding you
did the people who contributed to securityfocus got paid when you 
received all those US$ ?
ok that's old cows, let's leave that because we're grownups... at least 
we say we are
do you remember why this full-disclosure list was started in the first 
place?
I do... undelayed, unmoderated, uncensored, disclosure, full if you 
want, room for discussions etc
Why would we need another @securityfocus list if we already have this 
full disclosure list... that's whay I wrote between the lines ;-)
Securityfocus.com was great... until it was bought by Symantec... I saw 
you come, be and die
My opinion, if you don't like it... well... that's life
