I feel it would be unwise to block anonymous messages into this list;
since we discuss security, and occasionally security exposures or
weaknesses, I want everyone to have the ability to discuss problems
without revealing their sites or identities when they feel that's
important.
Regarding the occasional inappropriate posts, I don't mind ignoring
them; if many people feel they're too prevalent I'd prefer a
moderated list to one which doesn't permit anonymous postings.
