Subject: Alternate take on list trolls

I know some people have stated they thought a certain list member (to
remain nameless) is really someone doing social engineering.
Given the type of replies recently it is starting to look to me as
this could be possible.
The statement "where are your yahoo or google exploits?" which keeps
coming up makes me feel like yahoo is too cheep to check their code
themselves or pay a firm to check, that they try to stir up security
people to check it thoroughly because they can shove it back in a
certain members face.
It could also be a severe lack of social skills on that persons part.
Just thought I would throw that out there, because it would not be
unlike a company to avoid paying money if they do not have to.
