This `Anonymous' blighter can be damn sharp sometimes; for example, near the 
bottom of the above article, one Anonymous Reader postulates that:

    It seems to me, and any right-minded thinkers on the subject [hah!],
    that a company that is investing its money and repuatation in its
    software products is going to try harder to stamp out security holes
    than some random developers spread around the world who are only
    going to work on little bits of it at a time.

...and 22 minutes later, another Anonymous Reader makes the rebutting point 
that...

    The problem with that arguement is that it is easier for a company
    to hide bugs than to fix them.

...and is promptly supported by still another AR saying (pardon the 
excessively bad grammer, read it as if it was watermarked `[sic]')...

    Police works similar than Open Source bug reporting... Citizens call
    the police...

...meanwhile, another AR has thrown some objectivity at the original AR...

    Seems? Perhaps. However, the reality has been the opposite.

Cheers; Leon
