To SecReview,

     And as MOST of the denizens of this list think you are spamming us with useless no content sec reviews, we
could post a procmail script to post an FAQ right next to every posting you make on Bugtraq so the uninitiated reader is NOT fooled by your "reviews".

And if the list feels pushed enough by your behaviour(s) the script and the FAQ will appear and keep reappearing and all the while forwarded by remailers.

    trolls? yes you should really think about that word, your reputation capital on this list is somewhat less than zero.

            just another tentacle of medusa(a troll indeed)

Trolls?
