This is great. Competition is healthy and I don;t mind fair competition. But people who "compete" by breaking the rules really annoy me.

Now, to close the loop, it would be nice if someone in Microsoft occasionally published some feedback to the community about what actions they have taken to clamp down on abuses, as Eric Ligman occasionally does in the USA. If people just see their reports going into a black hole, then they will not believe anything is happening as a result and they will stop bothering. Justice must be SEEN to be done. I appreciate that where legal action is involved then there are non-disclosure issues, but even some very general non-specific information ("this quarter we closed down x dodgy operations") would be a big incentive to keep the reports coming in.
