You missed the point of my post.

I have nothing against F-Secure reporting the bug, I only have
something against F-Secure supplying information on how to use an XSS
vulnerability properly in which to cause the most damage to the
Netscape web site.

If you read my post and the F-Secure blog properly, you'll see they
reported that the vulnerability wasn't exploited fully, and F-Secure
promised to publish information to show attackers how to do the job
properly.

Thanks for your attempt to wind me up, you almost succeeded.
