In this debate we keep hearing this claim, but I just don't believe it.

Who the f*ck are all these thousands upon thousands of "Good Guys" who 
need malware samples and access to expert analysis of the same _for 
their own and the Internet's betterment_?

Who the f*ck are they?

Where did they suddenly come from?

What do they do for a crust?

Why the f*ck are they not knocking down the doors of the professional 
analysis labs (or presumably at ClamAV should they strongly prefer OSS) 
that certainly could use a bunch of them?


Seriously, I want (in fact, need) to know the answer to this.
