I don't think so. Especially considering how quick your message 
went through the list reflector. And especially with the 
statement from the list home page: "We will try to operate this 
list without moderation, as we feel moderation is an impediment 
to communication."

Well, if you were running Caldera it wouldn't be that useless. 
Or if you didn't already read the message on bugtraq/caldera's 
announce list/etc.

And, of course, according to the list home page, the message is 
on topic:
     "This list is dedicated to full disclosure of any and all security
      issues. Please feel free to discuss anything related to security."
