I have no interest in hacking networks, but some of those who read 
this *PUBLIC* mailing list might.
IMHO A professional security expert placing an exploit on the mailing list 
allows amateurs subscribing to this list  to crash systems just by copying and \
compiling source  code.
Whilst I'm all for free discussion, this seems a little dangerous. 
Would it be possible for an administrators only mailing list, where 
exploits can be placed purely for research purposes and out of the 
hands of some student grinning at the thought of crashing his 
college's server?
