But would you entrust someone with samples, knowing that these will wind up on a VX web site? I know a *lot* of people who would not.

The rule has always been, follow the rules of the guy who shares with you.

Personally, I still hold to the extreme paranoid (in my view) and Nick helps out when I need someone with more sharing paranoia than my own. Still, I am just respecting established standards that I believed in until recently. Today I still believe in most of them, but not in the strictness of which they are being followed.

At least, I would argue that they are being followed for the wrong reasons as hiding this information so the Bad Guys don't get it is NOW useless.
