    attached mail follows:

    Back in August Richard M. Smith claimed pathetically full disclosure is
    a Really Bad Thing(tm).
    References:

    "Can we afford full disclosure of security holes?"

    Now Richard M. Smith discloses the *full details* of a huge privacy hole. :)

    "Internet Explorer SuperCookies bypass P3P and cookie controls"

    According to his previous arguments about full disclosure he is arming
    even the dumbest of spammers and "ad networks and Internet marketing companies"
    with a way to compromise poor user's privacy.

    This may be an example for opponents of full disclosure.
