There are a lot more people subscribed to the list than you actually see
posting, I'm sure many of them are representatives of the l33t h4x0r community..

My impression of most of these people is that they are very clever, and unless
you post something here that is really brilliant thinking the chances are these
guys can come up with most of the ideas themselves.
