Hello, Ed and ALL, 73.
Allow me to disagree!
It's not with silence that we will solve our problems. It
doesn't matter whether newspapers publish it or not, famine
and starvation still plagues several countries. Whether we talk
about it or not, the hackers (crackers) are out there.
This kind of thinking is almost the same as believing that
not talking about drugs, will keep our children clean. We
should talk to them, explain the risks, the tragedy drugs
bring to a family, etc.
Of course we should not publish any vital information, codes and
the like. But just TALK about it makes sense to me. We are all
adults here. Don't know about you guys living in other
countries, but there was a time in my country we lived
under heavy censorship. Newspapers, television, radio, Amateur
Radio etc. was under official, government censorship. It ended
in 1978, when military, after 14 years, left power to the
civilians. Believe me, censorship, be it external or
self-imposed, is BAD! It avoids that serious issues be
discussed.
I am sure the control teams know what the risks are. And I am
sure they have the expertise to avoid the threats.
There's much more to be said, but I don't want to start a
revolution! Just kidding... :)
Anyway, I'll drop the issue, thought, as I don't want to start
any flame war or the like.
Anyway, this is only my opinion. :)
