Full Disclosure: RE: why o why did NASA do this.

["Todd Towles" <toddtowles () brookshires com>]

I meant this outdated NASA e-mail list. I undestand that FD could be
used for this purpose.

The fact that NASA just hands you this information (outdated or not) is
pretty sad. As I stated before it is free information leakage at best
and because it is outdated it should be removed from public view. This
could be used for social attacks and e-mail attacks. I don't think
SPAMmers care about some 6 year old list but hackers would. Any
information that they can get free of charge is just that much better.

You know me better than that GuidoZ .....lol
