RE: [Full-disclosure] Microsoft's Binary Planting Clean-Up Mission

["Thor \(Hammer of God\)" <thor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm curious.  Who is your contact at MSFT?  Who is it that has told you they 
have a "Binary Planting Clean-up Mission" and where do they mention you as 
having anything to do with it?

If you are going to claim MSFT's actions as substantive to your agenda, how 
about provide some details?
