RE: So long and thanks a bunch!

HSN,

While I see your point and do generally keep personal, flames, or
non-pen-test emails off the list, I thought this was relevant and worth
sharing with the community at large that the founder of pen-test,
security-focus, bugtraq et al was moving on after a decade of stewardship,
management, and behind the scenes work. Without Al Huger there wouldn't *be*
a pen-test list to subscribe to.
