Moderator(s), I object. This kind of message is just spam directing us to this person's blog. I have no objection if this person wants to post the entire blog entry or some edited version of it to the lists, but a message saying "I've got a new blog entry" is a waste of time and resources and reduces the pen-test and security-basics lists to mere advertising. Apparently we've all be opted-in to this persons blog subscription as well. This is not right. Adriel T. Desautels, I think you should bring your ideas to the list. I look forward to you expressing your ideas and thoughts directly in THIS forum.

For the record, I did add the email address of this list to my blogger so that entries are automatically posted to this list. If anyone is against me doing that, or if that is a violation of the list policy then please let me know and I'll stick with this method of letting people know. (I'm not sure if it worked hence why I'm writing this email).
