Note from Moderator - Cross-list postings

All, Lately I have received many submissions which are cross-posted to other security-oriented mailing lists. I've allowed the majority of them to go through as the subject matter has been relevant to pen-testing. However this makes my job, and the jobs of the other cross-posted list moderators, somewhat of a pain to keep track of and keep on topic for their respective list charters. On the other hand, when I've rejected cross-posted submissions with a note to please resubmit to pen-test with the cross-posts dropped... well I can count the number of times that I've gotten a resubmit with one hand and still have 5 fingers left over. Either way I try to handle the issue results in posts to pen-test which are in the middle of a thread or with no continuity at all and reduces the usefulness of what is submitted. Moving forward any submission which is cross-posted will be rejected. I will still bounce-request that the submitter resend with cross-posts dropped but bear in mind that it usually doesn't happen. I apologize in advance for any confusion or incomplete discussions that may result but hope you bear with me. If there are any questions or suggestions please feel free to contact me off list. -- Erin Carroll Moderator SecurityFocus pen-test list "Do Not Taunt Happy-Fun Ball" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This List Sponsored by: Cenzic Need to secure your web apps?
