I found it a bit ironic that John Chirillo mailed the NIC contact address for attrition.org, asking for his two books to be added to our long abandoned library section. My response to him will make it apparent why I found myself laughing at his mail. For some reason, he opted not to reply to me.

I've never heard of 'moot', can you tell me more about them? You are affiliated with newsgroups? Are you the moderator of those groups or just a frequent poster? How are you affiliated with CERT exactly? I have written numerous commentary pieces on how ineffective CERT has been. The last being: CERT Rides the Short Bus http://www.attrition.org/security/rant/z/jericho.002.html How are you affilated with SANS? FIRST? Looking forward to hearing from you. Brian
