> What about a entirely separate Full-Disclosure-Admins list?
Quite apart from the fact that the guy in charge of the list has already
said that this is not going to happen, and that any further discussion on
this point is irrelevant - you're still not actually gaining anything.

I would have thought that for most of the people on this list, getting an
extra email address is going to take about 30 seconds - and that's if they
type slowly.  I've got domains with '*@' going to me - so for me it's just
a case of registering from it and everything is done.

So your 'admin' list is merely going to be full of discussions about
whether x@...mple.com is the same as y@...mple.com, and therefore should
they be banned?  And then z@...mple.com gets created.

And what have you gained?  People that the majority of the list find
irritating have to spend an extra 30 seconds every couple of days to keep
posting - and the 'admin' waste hours every week keeping on top of it.
