    Sarcasm noted, but that _is_ standard operating procedure for iDEFENSE.

    As I have argued several times before, for example (sorry, URL will
    wrap):

    http://lists.netsys.com/pipermail/full-disclosure/2005-
    January/030971.html

    it seems that at iDEFENSE, having a spiffy, bells-and-whistles website
    that is over-designed by folk with no security clue whatsoever is much
    more important than being a security company. Now, even MS (at least
    after a bit of borax was poured on it) fixed their security bulletin
    pages so script-disabled browsers could view the entire contents of the
    page, but iDEFENSE steadfastly doesn't, so I guess we can all tell what
    that means about iDEFENSE's business focus. (Read the above-linked
    item for a more detailed explication of all this.)

    Regards,

    Nick FitzGerald
