I'm not sure what such a statistic would show. There are probably a lot of
people such as myself who signed up on the list purely for educational
reasons. I wasn't looking for anything in particular but rather to up my
security awareness and to just make me more aware of security issues. I have
found that reading the discussions can be really informative. Almost as
valuable are the suggested links that many postings contain.

This is my first posting after several months as a member. But I feel that I
have learned a lot and will continue to learn. But other that comments such
as this, I am unlikely to post much more.

Just my opinion.
