Transcript here www.grc.com My summary here xmb.stuffucanuse.com (sorry its on another page, but it took ages to work through the transcript and pick out the core, and I put it on a post. )	netchicken (4843)

Seems people are quick to abuse Gibson, but no one actually attacks what he says, just that he is an idiot to say it. Microsoft say its a "legacy code" issue. ie: they forgot to take it out?	netchicken (4843)
421527	2006-01-16 01:20:00	Apparently Steve Gibson is not a very likeable/reputable person . This ( . com/security/Microsoft_Disputes_WMF_Claim_by_Steve_Gibson" target="_blank">digg . com) and this ( . com/unmaskinggibson . htm" target="_blank">grcsucks . com) That’s northing new… :groan: I come pear that to everyone hates MS or vBulletin people hates phpbb people Its a personal option as well :2cents: & you every thing you should read should be taken with a pinch of salt… (As half the time you wont know why some people hate other people)	stu161204 (123)
421528	2006-01-16 01:22:00	Heh, facinating thread, as one poster says, Who do you believe Microsoft or Gibson? I agree with you there netchicken, I would believe Gibson more then MS.	stu161204 (123)
421529	2006-01-16 03:43:00	Apparently Steve Gibson is not a very likeable/reputable person. This (digg.com) and this (grcsucks.com) I always try to look at what axe someone has to grind. The second sit above has as many truths as untruths in it and the URL says it has an axe to grind. They also didn't show any of the hard evidence that they talked about. I like the way people have hard evidence and don't show it or bring in a third person with no name and so no way of verifying what is said. The first site had a few too many Windows fan boys and as one poster says why is everyone attacking the messanger and not the message. Steve Gibson has done more good for the computing community than harm	mikebartnz (21)
