First, don't reply in pubic a private email.  Extremely rude.

Second, the question was not about this list.  The original was a  
message from SecuritFocus about their lists.   So pointing out this  
is an unmoderated list does not do anything.  You're the reason I  
replied in the first place.  You asked, and so conveniently removed  
from this reply:

"Do you mean symantec first checks every message which causes a delay?
And in the case they don't like the message they delete it? Or perhaps
censor some stuff?"

And my _private_ reply was to you saying, yes SecurityFocus lists are  
moderated and here are some reasons they might be, other than  
filtering out people like you.  The response was not about this list  
and I don't know what you are trying to say.  I don't really want to  
know either.
