We are sorry that you find these messages annoying. As you know, we have
only recently starting posting these article announcements. We are
currently trying to determine the best way to get this information to all
of the appropriate, interested subscribers as possible while, at the same
time, trying to spare them the annoyance of multiple messages. The new
list that you mentioned is something we are considering. In the meantime,
we will continue to post to the appropriate lists as we are currently
doing. I hope that you can put up with this annoyance and consider it a
relatively minor price to pay for an otherwise cost-free service.

What we do we do only to maintain SecurityFocus and its related mailing
lists as sources of free, quality information for the security community.
You are free to unsubscribe at any time that this becomes problematic for
you.
