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...  :-)
