Bro, I've been a practitioner since 1996 and ran a fucking security blog in 2006.

Unless the blog was Phrack, you shouldn't be surprised I never heard of your blog unless it is something you think I would know.. This stuff didn't have such a public community back then like it does now..
I don't understand what you're trying to say here. I'm not surprised you didn't know about the blog; you appear not to believe blogs existed in 2006.

I want to stop being elliptical and just say directly: you have strange and counterfactual ideas about the security research community of the mid-aughts. 2006-2008 was the height of the security blogosphere. This stuff definitely had a huge community.
