After bugtraq I looked for a place in the old bugtraq spirit, and eventually I decided FD was that place, so I started reading it. Now, after a few months of FD reading, I feel bored again. I've never replied to any of the trolls and trolls-feeders on this list, but I've always been hardly hoping it was a transient situation, not the main (and sometimes only) topic of the list. Hell, if you filter out trolls postings and relative replies, the rest is more or less what debian-security has to offer. Now I have to choose: go on reading this, er... shit? in the hope it will get better in the future or leave all of you alone, trolls and others, and seek for another place.
Look for another place. FD isn't going to get better. I was the second person to subscribe to the list, and I can assure you that it has degraded at a steady pace over time. It's not worth your time to hang around.
I know, no one here cares about me or what I'm going to do. I'm just posting this to tell you that there are many people out there that could be interested in reading this list, maybe not posting for lack of skills, but with such a noise you are making them go away, and they usually go away without telling you, like I'm doing.
That's the price you pay for having an unmoderated list, which is the entire reason that FD exists.
If you want this list to live on, I think (for what's worth) you should find a solution. Don't know what the solution can actually be. Maybe a wiki in the wikipedia style, but with specific rules, community driven, would serve better than a unmoderated list?
If you want a moderated version of FD, there are some out there. But the list itself was, is and always will be unmoderated. After all, that's its raison d'etre. -- Paul Schmehl As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
