I replied all; the statement was to Guninski alone.  Even if I didn't this
is a mailing list and grammar or spelling don't matter.  Note I won't
mention your use of "proffering."

Regardless, let's see if I understand you.  You are saying one should not
agree with someone who ascribes behavioral (our spelling) patterns to
others based on their own character traits, yet you are telling him he
"cannot possibly agree."  It's OK for you to tell him what he can or can't
believe in, but it's not OK for me to voice my own opinion?  How exactly
does that make you any different than I?

Did Georgi find some bugs in software that anyone could have found a
decade ago?  Sure. And good for him.  My point was the WAY he went about
working with the vendor and disclosing it.  Defend him all you like, but
no one was helped in those cases, and many many people were hurt.  This
isn't "opinion," this is fact you can look up for yourself.  Look at
people like Michal Zalewski - he discovered god knows how many bugs in god
knows how many browsers and he was professional about the whole thing.

If you are actually arguing against the claim that disclosure is an
ego-driven process (again, where purposefully and deliberately sought
after) and are defending Georgi at the same time then all I can do is wish
you luck with your life's perceptions.  You are of course free to think
what you want, how you want, and when you want - I'll just disagree with
you.
