Hi list,
As I don't post so much to the list but I'm listening all
messages, and thinking in the security concern, I'll identify myself, in
order to prevent rejected messages later:
My name is Jorge Monsalvo. I was working in Foxboro until 1999. IVControl
S.R.L is my own company providing services in control systems to Foxboro in
Argentina.

Subject: [ADMIN] Posting etiquette (was RE: Contact Information)
Hi list,
I appreciate Ted Jirik's concern about possible misuse of highly technical
information that is freely exchanged on this list. After all, we operate
on
the basis that each one of us is who we say we are (or imply that we are).
Identifying the subscribers is made much easier on this list since most
(90%) of you subscribed to the list using your company-supplied e-mail
address. Barring the possibility of somebody posting to the list with a
forged From: address, it's fairly easy to decipher for whom the subscriber
works.
The problem arises when some subscribers, for any number of reasons, use
the
freely available webmail addresses (yahoo.com, hotmail.com, bigfoot.com,
etc.) that effectively mask the real identity of the subscribers. Included
in this category are those using regular ISPs (eg. aol.com) or home
addresses. My personal e-mail, for example, is [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is my
own virtual domain. This is easily deduced using whois data, but others
are
not so easily pinpointed.
To allay this security concern, I strongly recommend that every poster
include some identification data at the end of your posting so others have
some knowledge of you and your company, especially if your e-mail address
is
not a company-provided one. This is, after all, basic etiquette for
participating in a mailing list.
As a list, we can tacitly enforce this by not responding to postings that
lack this identifying information.
Administratively, I'll try to do some off-line vetting with new
subscribers
also.
Please let me know if you have any concern about this or any other issue.
Regards,
Duc M. Do

Subject: Contact Information
Hello All,
In light of the recent events which underline
the need for security I thought it might be a
good idea to see how users of this list might
feel about posting a description of themselves
with contact information.
This might allow us to refrain from supplying
critical system information to those who would
not identify themselves.
I'll begin,
My name is Ted Jirik, I worked for Foxboro
for 15 years. I currently have my own business
providing programming services to Foxboro
customers in the northwest United States.
My company is Real Time Solutions, Inc. and
I may be contacted at (360) 253-1323.
