I tend to agree, but let's not get into a meta-discussion about it on Firewalls.
I recognize that the info is being offered for free, but I still don't
think we need to hear about every little change every week or two; that
begins to look like someone posting just so that they can get their name
and .signature file out there as often as possible, without really having
anything to say.
Here are the guidelines for posting "announcement" items (be they product
announcements, conference announcements, whatever).
Postings should be less than 1 screenful of body (24 lines,
not counting mail headers)
Postings should be clearly tagged in the Subject line as
product announcements, conference announcements, calls for papers,
or whatever
Posting should provide basic information, and a pointer (preferably
a URL, FTP site, email address, and phone number) for further
inquiries by interested readers
No more than one posting per vendor/conference/whatever per month
No automatic postings; people should only post when they've got
something _new_ to announce
Posters are encouraged to send an advance copy to Firewalls-Owner
before posting, for review and suggestions on avoiding flames and
unnecessary controversy
