Re: Sourcefire VRT Certified Snort Rules Update2010-03-17

I did want to clarify publicly that I have no issues (except one or two 
guys) with any of the SF people and will absolutely not attack someone 
personally.  In my eyes Sourcefire (the company) is different from 
Sourcefire (the employees).  I like Sourcefire (the employees, minus one 
or two guys).  I'm not such a fan of Sourcefire (the company).

Not really worth much value but I did want to throw that out there.  I'm 
sure there's a gaggle of SF guys that may hate me and what I say 
(especially in the manner it's delivered).  It's not personal.

Finally, Matt's list was ordered 1, B, 3. :)
