Well said. I couldn't agree more. I get a warm feeling and a smile every
time I see some consultant whine about how agitated they are since someone
posted something they couldn't use to make money off of. I also find it
amusing to watch script kiddies wage their ego wars. This list has flavor,
but you have to have a sense of humor to appreciate it.

I for one hope they stay. I like to watch consultant / pentester /
non-coder / whitehats get angry.

There are some good people at Sun, but there are a lot more golf-playing
suits at Sun. Maybe it was bring-your-BMW day at the golf club when you
released that.

they're changed or help speed the change by breaking them?
