Darren,

I think you are quite right.

Bugtraq has some thingie's i never see on F-D but that is becoming
lesser and lesser since F-D is more and more used.

The only advantage Bugtraq now has, is that Bugtraq only has 
announcements,without people 'flaming' eachother.

On F-D that happends now and on occassion, that can be improved by
telling a 'policy' kind of thing, when one announce's something, the
only feedback that must be given is if the data presented is wrong.
We are all different people and interpret data otherwise, one could
think that he/she is attacked while that isn't ment.

When F-D (and his members) think more about that, it is gearing a lot
more towards a bugtraq kind of list _with_ the possibility to
discuss over various problems (not that i don't mean that the discussion
is about the announcement itself (the content) but the impact it could 
have on systems etc.)

So in short: Don't flame when a announce is made, only give technical 
feedback if needed, and discuss the impact among list subscribers.

I personally think when that happends, F-D is just it!

Perhaps you and the other subscribers share this thought, if not, i am 
interested in your arguments ;-)

Cheers!!
