I get such a kick out of these threads, which invariably generate *gobs* of discussion that has *nothing* to do with security...maybe we need the "FD subscribers opinions on FD" list. Let's face it...this list is a mixed bag - some with clue, some without. My personal suggestion (flames off list pls) is that those with clue (you know who you are) do a google on "gracious" because clue comes with responsibility. Where would the clued be without those who went before to help smooth the path to clueness? Speaking of responsibility, in a security related vein, those caring about the signal to noise ratio of the list who would like to flame me anyway may flame me live and in person. I am giving a security talk (an ill-prepared one, likely) in the SF Bay Area at BAFUG: http://www.bafug.org/ The talk is on CBOSS and TrustedBSD and security in general. So come eat this Thursday in Millbrae. So come on down and have at it (tip nicely pls). And to those who filtered this post, too bad :-p G On or about 2003.11.10 11:38:17 +0000, Kenneth Ekdahl (sensei () sensei nu) said:
One way to solve this could be to split this list into two; one moderated and one un-moderated. All mail gets sent to the un-moderated list, to avoid the suspicions of censorship that makes this list different from bugtraq, and those mail that pass moderation, or is sent from someone who is known from previous posts to be serious, will also be sent to the moderated list. That way anybody i able to choose between two levels of noise. Just like open source software is often more secure, not because everybody reads all the source code, but everybody knows that many who really are interested in security issues reads the source, and will report any problems. The same goes for my idea above, no-one has to read the un-moderated list, but everybody has the chance to do it.
