I personally feel this discussion has gone on for long enough. Arguments like "I don't have the bandwidth" no longer hold water - if you are on a dialup, sign up on Gmail and put a filter. If you don't like Raju's forwarding the advisories, put up a procmailrc. As far as I am concerned, these do not violate any of the list guidelines. They do pertain to Linux, and I notice that Raju never posts duplicates. People tend to use (a) software or versions not included by default in their distros of choice, and (b) lists like Bugtraq or Full-disclosure have so much traffic that one tends to lose track, hence the Linux-specific advisories are completely OK and in fact desirable here.
