Okay.  That's nice.  But this is not Security Focus.  Nor is it
Symantec.  Is your unproven allegation supposed to somehow rationalize
the attack on this list?  Is it supposed to somehow rationalize
continued black hat activities?  Or is simply a smear tactic?

More questions strike me.  You accuse David and Chris of malicious
activity.  You are "outing" them, as it were.  And yet, black hats are
supposed to oppose the concept of full disclosure, fearing it might
devalue their attempts at extortion.

It's one thing to change sides; you, however, are simply a hypocrite.
Or, perhaps, David and Chris have failed to pay your demands.  Either
way, there is one place where you belong -- on my black list.
