Heck - I'm definately not gonna get into a slamming match against you
- but the bottom line is that IF I am going to sell a 'sploit [yea as
IF i have the R&D time].... then I might aswell get _maximum_ revenue
from it...

I don't disagree.... after a few beers with a few peeps that might
view this list earlier tonight... it is a good thing that you can now
become a professional researcher....

Bottom line tho - IF someone, with a handle and a reputation, stuck a
massively interesting remote exploit up for sale on eBay - it would
get /.'d and then removed :) ...

I was more refering to the free market... researchers would get 'top
dollar' for their research... whereas this is more of a marketing ploy
by 3Com to get into the 0day race against various private
consultancies who chuck money into people not just the final product -
build an army with conslutants [typo - honest!]... and at the start of
the war - no one surrounds you - as the enemy will always pay more!

See y'all in 'Dam!
