Folks,
 
{Flame On}
 
        Must we go around this issue yet again?  How many times have I seen my
mailbox crammed to overflowing my quota with the eternal debate over whether or
not INFO-VAX should be a forum for security related issues.
 
        I don't know whether it should, or shouldn't be.  But ... Even if it
should be decided that no security sensitive issues should be raised on
INFO-VAX, it would do no good.  New subscribers, (and non-subscribers), won't
know of our hush-hush policy, and go and let the cat out of the bag anyway.
It would seem logical to anyone not familiar with the policy, that the people on
the INFO-VAX mailing list might want to know that the flap on their Dr. Denim's
is open.
