For anyone desiring a more restricted forum for information sharing I suggest you check out REN-ISAC (http://www.ren-isac.net/). They provide closed lists focused on security in higher education. Tim Doty

If vendors are trolling the list, I'd like to know before I posted any information. If that's the case, I'd rather contact people off list and go that route. Is anyone aware of this sort of activity? Thanks!

I clearly sent the message to provoke discussion not as a cry for help from vendors anxious to make a large sale. I thought this list was for higher education InfoSec professionals but learned that this may not be the case. While Blue Coat will never receive my business based on their questionable tactics, I wanted to make the group aware that this list may not be the best place to be sharing information pertinent to your organization; unless, of course you feel that this type of use (and perhaps other, more insidious uses) of this list are okay. If Blue Coat is trolling the list for sales opportunities, I'd question who else has access to this list and harvesting information. Mick A.
