["below" == "above" due to aforementioned top-postingitis]

Lurking and reading and "listening" and learning are all good things 
and I applaud you all for doing them (in fact, that is mostly what I 
get from F-D too).  However, note that this is a vulnerability (and 
exploit) disclosure list, not a "I just came across something vaguely 
interesting I thought some of you may also be interested in" list 
(there are, of course, FD-relevant discoveries that may fall from such 
moulds, but most that do are not FD-relevant...).

As it seems to be noob week, I'll try to learn y'all sumfin...

[To be red in a bad Southern drawl...]

1.  Full-Disclosure iz won of them thar _mailin list_ thangs.

2.  It's reel commin for mailin lists to _archive_ all messages posted 
thru 'em.

3.  It's just 'bout as commin for them thar archives to be on tha web 
(tho you may hav to be a subscribed list membar to login an see 'em).

4.  Many mailin lists are run by software what putz all manna of useful 
mailin list-related infoz in tha heddaz of theer messages, commonly in 
the form "List-*:".

5.  Most list subscribaz wil have MUAz (no, not cowz) wot ar able to 
display such special heddaz.

6.  Compitint list subscribaz wil no what button to click to uz those 
feechurz...
