I am still considering the "sign-or-delay" proposal for the toad.com server, that is, sign your articles to the list or they'll be delayed and eventually rejected.
Do it. Either it will work or it will kill the list. If it works, geat. If it kills the list, we would have failed in our mission anyway.
Yes, do it! Do it now! Do it tonight! I spend too much time reading this list as it is, so this new requirement will actually mean *less* time spent in e-mail, as I'd have to leave the list. Go for it! You see, I'm reading with elm (on-line) or Eudora (off-line). And not always both. It depends on what I'm doing. (Standard request: Please don't send me advice on how _you_ are happy with Slackware Linux v.3.845 running pine 3.4 on your Pinto-um box. Or how you run PGP on your campus machines. Etc. I'm happy that you're happy, which ought to be enough.) I have little means of solving the Netcom-Macintosh-elm-Eudora issues, and I don't see others solving them especially cleanly or usably, so I expect that the "sign your messages or else" dictum would have a predictable result, for me. And isn't it up to the _readers_ to decide if they don't want to read my messages because they think I'm not being diligent enought, or because my messages appear to be forged? Isn't end-user choice the core of the Cypherpunk ethos? "You can't be an anarchist....your messages aren't formatted according to the rules."
