I'm not even sure how effective it would be. In many cases, it's fairly trivial to get/keep a .edu address.

The second option may not work too well for folks outside the *.edu
realm... ;-)

David,
I agree with you. I have had the same issue. Interestingly, it came up
in
two discussions just yesterday here at the Educause Security conference
too.
In one case, the discussion was around creating a separate
(non-Educause)
list to discuss issues without the fear of vendors engaging those in
the
discussion.

One option would be to require .edu addresses in order to participate
on
these lists. But I donĀ¹t know how viable that solution would be.
