Any idea of how many are left? It seemed that a couple hundred people
realized that being on the crime list was not going to mean having your
own personal bugtraq-watching fed-friendly security experts on call...
well I may be wrong (I hope I could be), but [we] security professionals
are after all somewhat human. There will be endless differences of
opinions and varying personal motivations for participation. And now,
many less participants -- maybe splitting the list would help, but I
think many folks wouldn't come back anywhoo.
Personally, I look to this list not as an end-all solution by any means,
but rather a specific place to discuss security and high-tech crime
issues (I am not [yet] into forensics proper), ESPECIALLY as they apply
to existing here in the Pacific Northwest... I really appreciate
George's forwardings of the NPIC daily alerts, but also receive bugtraq
and linux-secnews from securityfocus.com.
I admit, I'm slightly ashamed to be part of a poorly-defined group, in
that it seems to have left many people let-down and walking away.
However, I think there might be other lists those folks need more, or
maybe they can pay someone to deal with their email for them ;-)
Just my humble opinions, of course, and ymmv.
Each day, positively growing wisdom and learning new strengths amongst
peers,
Ben Barrett
