Hmmm, talking about security is one thing. Highly encouraged.

"There is a security issue in foozleburg 0.93 - to protect yourself, you 
need to configure the brodlebin to listen on eth0 instead of the wireless 
interface"

It's quite another thing to say

"There is a security issue in foozleburg 0.93 - here's how you can get 
root remotely and exploit every linux box you can find".

The former is completely acceptable on a mailing list such as this one, 
the latter is absolutely not. With the former, you become part of the 
solution, with the latter, you become part of the problem.

And as far as I know, a LUG is about using Linux and OpenSource, not to 
debate the (non)provision of free speech in the [Indian|American|Chinese] 
constitution.

'nuff said.
