comp.risks (anyone remember that?) RISK-DIGEST mailing list is still going strong as (I think) the predecessor to and kinda the moderated version of comp.risks. Very highly recommended.

Is Peter G. Neumann still the moderator? He was born in 1932, and would be over 90 now. Which would seem something of a comp.risk of itself.

    I'd inferred as much from the same source. RISKS-Digest is a valuable and venerable resource. I find it somewhat ironic that it seems not to have any specific preparation for transition or continuity. That's a challenge for numerous projects, and I can think of several examples of projects, services, or other institutions which failed on the death, disability, or retirement of their founders. It's a highly foreseable risk.

      Sounds like that would make a good submission to RISKS-Digest.
