Please. Analogies are for the weak of mind, and for trying to confuse the true issues at hand. Being that this is a technical list, how about constraining arguments to the relevant subject. It is reasonable to assume that anyone subscribed to this list can understand the discussion in native terms. I don't think tired analogies about burglars and virus writes help to clarify anything. Put simply: 'Some kid tweaking Nimbda' != 'Burglar breaking into houses' No matter how many times you hear it repeated. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
