No he shouldn't.  Because if people cannot moderate themselves from
childish behavior, and if this list is the target of repeated abuse,
it needs some sort of check.

I don't think anyone here wants to see actual content moderation - and
I don't think that's the answer to the problem anyways. And certainly
no one wants the possibility of information not freely flowing.  But
this list NEEDS a filter of some sort.  A content/SPF filter of some
perhaps?

On content:  Perhaps the list can go un-moderated without allowing
profanity - thus filtering out a lot of needless bitch sessions [and
continued retribution] ?  Certainly there are words that have no place
in Full-Disclosure.

On SPF:  Perhaps some of the bogus impersonation posts would get
caught/blocked by a simple SPF check?

I don't need a public spanking for posting this. I'm only trying to
think of a way that we can do something about what is becoming the
serious decline of the list. I can ignore and filter my email just
fine - but I know what's going on and I just want to see things get
better.  They seem to continuously get worse.
