I feel exactly that same way, been debating unsubscribing as
well....Symantec has always been on the "in" with Microsoft, thus with
MS wanting to stop everyone from 0-day exploit posting, I can see where
BugTraq is going to going down the tubes.

Thanks,

It would seem that the bugtraq folks think that security issues cease to

exist on weekends, or even after "normal business hours" these days.
It's a shame really.
Once upon a time, pre-symantec it seems, it used to be a viable and 
pertinent list. I'm debating unsubscribing, since it's down to maybe a
dozen 
posts a week at this point and just doesn't seem worth the effort to
read 
posts that are 3, even 4, days old.

Any thoughts on other lists, other than this one, that are worthwhile to

keep abreast of issues?

...Dave
