This list was created to serve as an "off-topic" list for some other list - probably nanog, where *SOME* people were always complaining about Fergie's posts. (Personally, I thought they were - mostly - interesting.) It appears to me that the list 'purpose' has morphed from pretty much "Fun Security-related" to "Fun Security-related, Security discussion" probably because some of the persons here are not "vetted" to the other more secure lists. (Me, for instance - although I'd be glad to provide my CV to whomever would like to see it...) Since I don't have access to those "other" lists, there HAVE been things that I *would* have said here if the list had not been publicly archived. Anyway, my $0.000002 worth.
