Wayy off topic everyone has access to Google news.

http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm
The mail list does not cover:
* Detailed software support such as using a browser, installing a
server, installing any tools etc.

A good guide is : if you are going to write OT in the email then 
don't post it to the list.

If you have a problem with this send an email to the list admins.

Cheers

Sorry if OT!

The Mozilla Foundation is aware of two potentially critical Firefox
security vulnerabilities as reported publicly Saturday, May 7th. There
are currently no known active exploits of these vulnerabilities
although a proof of concept has been reported. Changes to the
Mozilla Update web service have been made to mitigate the risk of an
exploit. Mozilla is aggressively working to provide a more
comprehensive solution to these potential vulnerabilities and will
provide that solution in a forthcoming security update. Users can
further protect themselves today by temporarily disabling JavaScript.
