ATTENTION LAMERS

 Speaking for myself only, something has to be done
 about the quality of the information, and the standards
 of netiquette on this list.

 We all don't need to see mindlesS banter, and other noise
 spewing back and forth. If you can, please try to not post
 this spewage to the list, but instead send mail to each other
 (after carefully cutting and pasting on your windows desktop) 

 If you must send it to the list it must be in terms of 
 technical content, whether it is of a real security issue 
 and not if Yahoo will increase your disk space or what slashdorks
 posted about something that was known since 2 months ago.
 
 I use the word technical loosely as in my mind, anything
 security related is inherently technical even if it/is not
 actually dealing with code or networks or systems. 

 I'm very sick of seeing the amount of lame crap on this list,
 and I imagine a great deal of others are too.

 Thanks for listening.

  PS Unlike other "reputable" lists, we try not to censor
     anyone if they at least subscribe and never hit the
     queue. Lately we default to "delete" and try to approve
     those people who insist on posting without subscribing,
     or posting from a non-subscribed address. If "reputable"
     means bugtraq or cert then beat me with a stick.
