I was hoping to let this one through and see if we could engender some
intelligent discourse on the subject. Regrettably most of the people
posting are either incapable of presenting an argument without demeaning
someone or are apparently unable to keep a civil tongue in their head.
There were some really decent posts but rather than spending the rest of
the day moderating out people with no sense of accountability or decent
manners I am going to do us all a favor and smoke the thread.

Remember folks, if you would not have the courage to say it in person
please do not say it online. You were not given a keyboard so you could
expose your nasty personality behind the lack of accountability a network
connection affords you. Keep a civil tongue or find another list (and this
counts for all secfocus lists) to abuse people on.

Cheers,
