While I'm in favor of a system security group, I an *not* in favor of an
unmoderated group.
Moderation of the group would accomplish two positive goals:
1) help reduce S/N ratio, and
2) keep overly-descriptive articles from being posted.
I can apprieciate the latter goal as a means of protecting the poster as well
as the rest of the Usenet community. There are some people (myself included)
who find it difficult to describe the solution to a problem without describing
the problem itself in nit-picking detail.
Perhaps we should form comp.security with a new moderator. I assume that we
will be discussing *computer* security, not miscellaneous security issues.
Note that the followup field is restricted to news.groups.
