I believe I sent out a apology about my screw-up to the list, and I've 
attached that same email for your reference.

Not sure why you're jumping to conclusions here.

I believe we all use internal mailing lists within our organizations for 
internal communications (e.g. ogsa-security@globus.org), and I'm not going 
to apologize for that.

We've only started this ogsa-sec-wg list very recently after it finally got 
setup at GGF in September.
Many of the discussions on the security-wg list are related to the ogsa 
security, and I've tried to cross-post those to make the migration of 
topics smooth and to ensure that people wouldn't miss anything interesting 
- accidentally I cross posted to an internal list instead of ogsa-sec-wg.

I believe that I have been very communicative and open on the security 
related lists, and I can assure you that we do not have any massive secret 
efforts underway that would solve all our problems. (to be honest, I wish 
we had the resources for that ;-)

So, there is no need for conspiracy theories, and please help me to make 
good use of this ogsa-sec-wg@gridforum.org in the future.

Sincerely, Frank.

Sorry, but I screwed up in some previous postings where I encouraged you to 
subscribe to the ogsa security mailing list, but instead I mentioned and 
cc'ed the wrong list.

I've copied the relevant info for subscription from the webpage here:
