I agree with Martin here. Also there is the problem that if you have a 
'secure' list then you might accidentally post something destined 
towards that to the non-secure list.  It just opens up more chances for 
problematic accidents.

I don't think most of the discussion is that insecure to have in 
public...whether to have such an account or not etc. But yes, if you 
think it affects security in virginia we should abide by that and move 
it off-list.

I'm happy to be involved in such a discussion, and would vote for this 
(agnostic about communication technology since we won't be pass the 
password that way).
