True, but it has always been that way....you must be new ;) In the last
month has it been getting worse, I agree.

Some people don't think...

Member banning should always be an option, but this list might as well
become Bugtraq...if you want moderation. The openness of the list is
what makes it a different list. Why change FD, when there are at least a
hundred moderated security list, you can join? Even a moderated FD list
already exist, I think. I think you would be in the minority on this
call..

Moderation slows and restricts information. If you rather a moderator
pick what is important to you and your company..there are list you can
join.
