The wikipedia page on cypherpunks have nothing to do with the current
state of this list. History gets rewritten (from experience).

I suggest after list discussion the list admins to put a warning on the
list web page. Something along the lines of (clearly needs rewriting):

====
The list is not it used to be and has nothing to do with the wikipedia
page.

The list has spooks, paid trolls, other similar whores and possibly
crackpots.

Some of them post actively, others rarely.

Their motivation might include:
* social engineering
* manipulating opinions
* profiting from the past reputation of the term cypherpunk
* killing the list

"What You See is NOT What You Get"

Use common sense when reading or posting to the list.
