Actually, I've begun to find it somewhat entertaining as of late. The occasional "on topic" post comes through (every 20th msg or so) and I find myself thinking, "How boring...I just read that on bugtraq". Then the hell raising starts again and things are back to normal. I guess I've just started to accept the fact that this list is a total free for all, and will probably remain that way in the interests of true disclosure. I'm willing to accept it, warts and all, until things get so out of hand that everyone else leaves. Just browsing through the documents of some of our less distinguished posters (I wont start calling names) reveals that one of their basic goals in this so called war on the security community, is to flood this list with so much garbage that everyone leaves. Looks like it's working, judging from some of the comments. To me, it seems that the whole whitehat/blackhat thing is an exercise in futility. Let's all just agree to be grey, make our own choices about how we use our talents without forcing our views down each other's throats, and let the chips fall where they may. In the grand scheme of things, none of us are that important anyway. -- Jonathan Rickman X Corps Security http://www.xcorps.net
