Congratulations.  You found an example of a mailing list where applying a
standard disclaimer by default *does* make sense, which then got forwarded
*by a coordination team leader at a national CERT* to an appropriate forum
so that action could be taken, but failed to take the disclaimer off the
bottom of that posting.

Double bonus points for finding a posting that discussed something *really*
sensitive, like "we've seen bots connecting to...".  You *do* realize that
there's an estimated 140,000,000 bots on the net, right, and as a result,
some operation lists have *dozens* of "bots spotted connecting to" postings
*per day*.

And you wonder why you have a hard time being taken seriously.
