[PEN-TEST] Administrivia

[Alfred Huger <ah () SECURITYFOCUS COM>]

Hey folks,

I have a couple o' things to pop out to the list.

1. HTML messgaes. Again, for the love of God! Please, stop sending them!!!
   I hate having to kill really decent post posts because they look like a
   badly formatted web page :> So those of you MS users out there who
   have your MUA set up to do this automagically - please stop.


2. Product promotion. I have recently have had a few people post to both
   Pen-Test and Forensics in reply to queries. These answers invariably
   included information about this persons product. The replies went into
   detail about how the product in question met the persons needs etc.

   I have no real problem with this as long as it is done tastefully and
   with restraint. We are all adults and should be able to look at this
   objectively. However, before I approve posts like these - you need to
   have a history of posting meaningfull messages to the list, not
   related to your product.


Cheers,
-al
