Re: Subject prefix changing! READ THIS! SURVEY!!

[Michael Berg <mberg447 () comcast net>]

I agree the current [Full-Disclosure] needs to be dropped.

I'd personally prefer to see it shortened to [FD] (option #2) since I 
follow Full-Disclosure and bugtraq (and maintain archives of interesting 
threads on both lists).  Given that a number of messages are cross 
posted to both lists, having some extra unique tag to match (like an 
[FD] in the subject) allows me to easily separate duplicate cross posts 
into the appropriate archive folders for each list.

I could live with option #1 (no prefix at all) as well, but it would be 
a slight annoyance at times.

The difference between common-sense and paranoia is that common-sense
is thinking everyone is out to get you. That's normal -- they are.
Paranoia is thinking that they're conspiring.
