I agree with Bob - there should be a security-d list - that may keep the signal to noise ratio on this list down to a 
reasonable number.

My 2 cents

Well, it is a real magazine I have actually read, so I'd vote "no" here.

Authors have to come from somewhere...  and security professionals are notoriously over-busy.  Magazines, conferences, 
and publishing houses have to work
hard to find content.  And we'd all like quality content to be available, right?

Most of what I've seen on the list lately have been meta-discussions focused on vendor roles and what is or isn't 
valuable list traffic.  I half-seriously
wonder if there needs to be a SECURITY-DISCUSS list apart from the DISCUSS-SECURITY list...  :-)
