For those of you not lurking on the metzdowd list, a cautionary tale about the [potential] impact

For those of you not lurking on the metzdowd list, a cautionary tale about the [potential] impact of RSA selling out its position of trust. I rather liked "If we can't make selling security pay, we can maybe make selling insecurity cost."

Earlier in the thread people noted that being purely punitive against RSA, Inc by boycotting RSA conf would punish smaller vendors et al without actually achieving change. This post was a good rebuttal.

Interesting comment at the end: "the marketing person looked up and started thinking" when the techies in the room were ignoring the issue. Sometimes we don't do ourselves any favours.
