(Sorry for the delay in replying. I haven't bothered to read this mailbox for 
a while.)

Since I've signed up, I've ended up deleting massive threads. For example, the 
"send money to the Sasser author one"
They have nothing to do with security vulnerability disclosure.

Now I just read subjects. If it gets any worse, I'll unsubscribe.

There must be an awful lot of people with nothing to do expect read this list. 
Maybe there should be (or is) a full-disclosure IRC channel where these 
people can natter all day?

I can well see the value of moderated lists now, even if they are a bit slow 
in getting messages though.
