Aleph1 Passes The Bugtraq Baton

Rogue_F writes: "The long running security mailing list Bugtraq is getting a new moderator. Elias Levy (the real name of the familiar Aleph1) has decided to move on to other things. For nearly six years he has been moderating bugtraq with a high degree of success. No one doubts the usefulness of bugtraq, but many people probably dont appreciate what a 'clean' list it is. No spam, no flames, no relgious security wars, instead you get good wholesome security information. Aleph1 details in this message that he is moving on to other security projects and that David Ahmad is taking over moderation duties. Bugtraq continues to churn out quality security information on a daily basis, and it looks like it will continue to do so for quite some time to come." List moderators and maintainers seem universally denied their due credit -- people like Zack Brown (of Kernel Traffic fame) end up getting noticed only when --infrequently -- they go on vacation.

    It's good to see that someone is getting credit where it is due, especially since he has such a low profile job. Important, but low profile.

    ...read the subject as more or less something about bugtraq passing aleph1 number of bugs (batons?), thereafter spitting his or her coffee violently all over his or her respective keyboard in an angry realization that somehow Microsoft must have sneaked windows 2000 or some other bloatware onto us unsuspecting volunteer bug-reporters and quickly burgeoning the number of bugs in the database to past the first degree of countability?

    Argh, too much discrete mathematics!

    A 'natural' style keyboard, too, 80 bucks it cost me. grumbly humph.
