Point(s) accepted.  But... if it's often a better idea not to openly 
discuss matters involving legal or potential flaws / bugs, possibly 
directly affecting Tor or Firefox users, we may not follow that strategy 
very consistently.

"Discussing" an issue doesn't have to & shouldn't involve giving away 
secret / previously unannounced valuable strategies or counter measures 
to attacks or hacking methods.  However, seems like once any software, 
network  or best practices changes are made, the enemies will figure 
them out soon enough.

Even if nothing of value is given to the enemy, users on this list & 
elsewhere usually discuss hot topics w/ serious implications - sometimes 
excessively.

We discuss general ideas on topics like how to disrupt LEAs & others 
from identifying users of Tor & other software; how LEAs might have 
identified users *and* strategies on how it could be prevented or 
minimized.  And much more.  Maybe some of those discussions are really 
bad ideas.  It just struck me as odd that this topic was one of very few 
when most tor-talk subscribers decided to adhere to communication 
silence.  I haven't checked other related lists or forums.
