    Heya all,
    
    Over the last year or so there has been a 3 line advert attached to the
    end of each outgoing message on this mailing list and some others here at
    SecurityFocus. I am considering changing these ads so that SecurityFocus
    is not the only advertiser on them while keeping the 3 line limit and as
    an appended item only. My goal here is to make this list and the website
    which hosts it a self sufficient community, something it requires in order
    to guarantee its longevity. When I changed the initial outgoing messages a
    year ago no one complained. However Id like to touch base here again
    before I should choose move ahead. Like I said earlier this about
    sustainable community meaning it needs to pay for itself or at least
    contribute something back. Your thoughts on this are appreciated.

    P.S. This will not be an issue for all mailing lists here and in
    particular NOT for Bugtraq.
