Dear jason@...lerinterviews.com,

--Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 5:02:16 PM, you wrote to full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk:

This  subject  arises  here  twice  an  year.  List needs _professional_
moderation, like Bugtraq has. because:

1.  Next  thing  to  research  will  be  attacks against community-based
filtering mechanisms.

2.  No, thanks, see enough "community moderators" things with Wikipedia,
where  sense  of  good always hits common sense. It's well known who has
high  desire  to moderate: not a professional with deep topic knowledge.
Michael   Zalewski  was  filtered  from  "hackers"  for  few  years  for
self-promotion  (Was  it  Stallman  who  edited  this article or 15-year
schoolboy  who  read nothing but few articles about... let me remember..
Melissa  worm?). Bad for you, Michael, you promote yourself again! I was
not  able  to  add article about free open source software, as I am only
listed software developer (I really am): it's promotion. Just wonder: if
somebody  looks for specific software in Wikipedia, is it better to have
potentially  promotional  article  from  it's  developer  or do not have
article at all?
