Wouldn't a signed GPG signature or OpenID be more effective if you
insisted on having a prerequisite for subscribing and/or posting?

I do like the idea of having to mimic an exploitation, but I also
believe it would consequently reduce the list's audience. I am sure
there are less educated people on this list who subscribe to learn; and
to deny them that privilege would go against the very fiber of hacker
etiquette and the freedom of information exchange. It's not like this is
some underground 0day list full of criminal activity.

Long live Metasploit :)

Humbly,
JW
