that's true, but safe hex isn't malware specific - far from it... so helping to
get safe-hex spread further really takes a different approach than the one i
was taking before...

oh, well, if you're asking whether it's ok to post those listings you mentioned
then sure... under the circumstances i'm open to most types of traffic so long
as it's somewhat on topic and reasonably mindful of bandwidth (so don't anyone
get ideas about reposting every article they find on the internet in full)...

if it informs people, that's great... if it sparks discussion, that's also
great... there are rules for the echo of course, but i don't think they
prohibit any reasonable behaviours...
