WebApp Sec: RE: WebAppSec appends advertisements to mailing list messages?!

Peter,

If you disagree with SecurityFocus' advertising methods, you should
direct your opinion directly to them.

There's no reason to trash the vendors or to use foul language. The
vendors (and in this case, my company) bought ad space, which was
offered by SF.

I'll second that. IMO it is a serious breach of netiquette to modify
postings in such a way without even notifying subscribers of the fact.
(In some jurisdictions such modifications may even be illegal.)

I don't want my name associated with any products that are advertised in
this forum, so please make it absolutely clear that the ad wasn't
included by me.

Bye,
        Peter
