(If you don't understand my point, just disable the entirely 
unnecessary bandwidth wasting HTML-ized copy of the messages you 
post to this list.  And those contemplating posting HTML-only 
messages -- just don't do it.)

And yes, I know I'm posting to the list, but unlike most of the rest 
so far bitching about the crappy, off-topic posts, thi is on-topic.

When you signed up, you got a confirmation request message.  In part, 
it said:

   ...  Send questions to full-disclosure-admin@...ts.netsys.com.

If you don't like the "[Full-Disclosure]" Subject: prefix, mail the 
list admin and ask for it to be changed.  If you don't like the 
noise-to-signal ratio, mail the list admin.  If you fail to get 
satisfaction from those approaches, consider unsubscribing as, while 
it remains an unmoderated list, some of the things people are so busy 
complaining about will remain facts of life.

This is not rocket science but "Mailing lists 101"...
