Before the discussion is over, I just want to put in my 2cents.

Firstly, unless you (ShadowRabbit) are a listserver admin, or at least know how to code programs that can help prevent attacks, I really don't see how you and PE could've helped. From what I've seen (and heard) all you could've done really is get a list of people crashing servers and such (with proof, of course) and just show the list to Nimrod or another listserver admin. That's pretty useless when someone could just do it themselves as it's faster, instead of passing it onto someone who in turn passes it on to Nimrod/staff. It's basically like you wanting to tell someone to move, and instead telling their friend or someone right next to them to pass on the message to them instead of just asking them directly, or something. I know you tried to help (as you seem to mention this quite often), but really, I don't see anything you could've done to aside from just reporting the crashers yourself, which is basically what we do now.

I've probably wrote this in vain as my message is shared and previously mentioned by other people, but I just wanted to get that off my chest. Also, my comparisons suck.

That's pretty much it I guess.
