    We have come under some pressure to delete part of the
    information from the message disclosing the Kerberos 4
    vulnerability recently posted.

    We would like to publicly announce our position in
    regards to the material within the Full Disclosure
    mailing list archives.

    We strongly feel that:

    1. The archives reflect the entire mail traffic of the
       list, which is composed of individual messages sent
       by many different individuals.

    2. The contents of these messages have become a matter
       of public record once they were distributed to both
       those who are subscribed to the mailing list, and
       mirrored by various sites who also archive the mailing
       list.

    3. It would violate the editorial integrity of the
       archives and would also demonstrate a measure of
       editorial control over the content of the archives
       that we are not prepared to exercise.

    4. That it is pointless to "delete a message" since
       the message contents are already widely disseminated,
       cached, stored, and otherwise ingested worldwide.

    To summarize, we are sorry that we cannot comply with
    any requests to delete the message in question, or any
    other for that matter.
