Subject: In regards to recent crap flooding list.

To all:
I am by no means a professional security researcher, but it is hard to 
find a list where full disclosure is allowed that isn't biased in some 
way, either through anal moderators or corporate bias. That said, the 
flood of literal "crap" that I have been getting in my inbox of late 
from a select group of people from this list is unacceptable to me. 
Full-disclosure is a great thing, it allows the spreading of 
information that would otherwise be suppressed by corporate politics or 
other such crap. It does not mean that every wannabe who can type 
should post. I have spent more time trying to sort this list for useful 
information in the past few weeks than i have spent on any of my other 
countless email messages. And you know what? That means having to read 
every message, and that means that I have to read a lot of this crap 
that shouldn't have been sent in the first place. Having a civilized 
discussion is one thing, but please keep all personal comments/messages 
off of the list. Sarcasm/Slander/Arguments are completely useless, and 
for the people out there who have to read this list to keep abreast of 
any current security issues, you are making their jobs hard as hell. I 
have been tempted one too many times to unsubscribe, but the amount of 
useful info that I have received either through advisories or valid 
discussions has kept me from sending that email. I'm sick of seeing 
links in email messages from this list, clicking them, only to be 
redirected to porn pages. I know I speak for others when I say, this 
crap has to stop. It's hard to find "good" information, and when there 
is a good source for it, you don't need it being polluted by crap. I 
have said enough, but I hope that someone is listening and that this 
makes a little bit of sense.
sincerely,
robert
