List members,

While the 'pentester convicted' thread has generated a *lot* of response
and interesting discussion, don't be surprised if I reject posts on it
going forward. This is not a blanket rejection of all future posts on the
thread as I do think that some of the discussion is relevant and within
the list charter. However, at the same time I can't let it devolve into
ethical or morality debates, legal verbiage, and flamefests. If your post
on this thread is rejected it's not personal, I just didn't see the
immediate relevance to the focus of the pen-test list.

If you wish to discuss the methodology used and the pros/cons surrounding
how it all went down that's fine and dandy :)

Please be aware of the pen-test list charter which can be found at
http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/101/description. Though I have been
the list moderator for a little over a year now, pen-test is still owned
by Al Huger and the fine folks at SecurityFocus.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or flames feel free to
email me directly.
