As you know it is not uncommon for herders to be involved in certain criminal activity that warrants more attention than simply cutting off the c&c server. We definately need to have more interaction with LE but I'm sure they are overloaded with work like the rest of us. I have seen (and participated in) other lists that were restricted to those with "a need to know" and they were useless. It's the old "what if you throw a party and noone shows up" issue. Unless someone in LE (on this list) want's to step up to the plate my recommendation is to call up your local FBI field office, ask for thier cyber crime contact and go from there if you find something of interest. I may be wrong but I suspect one of The Agencies have greater resources available and certainly the legal authority (ie: Patriot Act) to make progress in certain areas where someone else may get the canned "talk to our legal department for that" reply.
