                The list originally contained lots of good information
which addressed security holes in systems.  However, as of late I have
not received any interesting postings; rather, I have only received
lots of flames and noise.  As a recsult, I have unsubscribed from this
list and I recommend that all other participants do the same,
and subscribe to security lists with a higher information to
garbage ratio.
