-----Original Message----- From: full-disclosure-admin () lists netsys com [mailto:full-disclosure-admin () lists netsys com] On Behalf Of Kenneth Ekdahl Sent: Monday, November 10, 2003 4:38 AM To: full-disclosure () lists netsys com Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Feeding Stray Cats One way to solve this could be to split this list into two; one moderated and one un-moderated. All mail gets sent to the un-moderated list, to avoid the suspicions of censorship that makes this list different from bugtraq, and those mail that pass moderation, or is sent from someone who is known from previous posts to be serious, will also be sent to the moderated list.
One of the wonderous things about computing is the distributed nature of it. By spreading the work across many hands, the job is easy to do. Yet, what you are suggesting is that Len et. al. do all the work, while the people who get bugged by certain posts do none. A much better suggestion would be, "Learn how to use filters". The people subscribed to this list are *assumed* to have at least a tangential interest in security. Given that, one would *think* that they have at least enough capability to set up a simple mail filter (pick your poison, your choice of OS) that would eliminate the noise and still give them what they want.
