Re: Changing to Moderated Cypherpunks -- How?

The only criteria is to delete Dr. Dim and his nyms. Would toad.com give me a mail hook to send back to, or am I supposed to setup my own majordomo? First: how many people are interested? I suppose I could split it in two: the other for actual crypto comments. I'd not suggest it myself, because our concerns have to be wider than just that.

I'll provide you a feed if you find that acceptable, unfortunately I am not able to provide an account on SSZ to run it off of. My suspicion is that you'll need a majordomo or similar remailer package (possibly with procmail for duplicate filtering). I also strongly suggest you get your feed as a CDR member and not a subscriber to a given list. That way if one node goes down it won't leave you out in the cold (necessarily). You also probably don't want to use a system that hosts a CDR node in case that site drops off the net. Good luck. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The most powerful passion in life is not love or hate, | | but the desire to edit somebody elses words. | | | | Sign in Ed Barsis' office | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.

Of course there's a free-market remedy for Microsoft; eliminate copyright. If anyone can copy Microsoft software for free, it would be forced to compete on real benefits rather than installed base. This is why I have no sympathy with those who claim Microsoft is the victim in the anti-trust suits, even though I'm opposed to such action in general; those whose profits depend on the 800-pound gorilla can hardly complain when it falls on them.
