So, basically, you're saying that the flight from censorship should be toward a new CypherPunk 'home' where one is effectively censored automatically unless one kisses the ass of a Cabal?
Absolutely, It is really, as far as I see it anyway, just a stop-gap measure. The caballers haven`t got enough room to do their censorship on the 18000 or so big 7 groups so they decide to fuck up the alt. heirachy as well ;-) Hopefully Igor and co.`s network of Majordomo's should be fully operational soon (as I understand it two are up and a third is on it's way) then we can move back there. Might even get it finished before the 20th????? Why not a network of news servers with mail<->news gateways on some of them? It should even be possible to use the news spool as the queue, so that only info on who needs what messages need lie around rather than 42 copies of the message (something like nntpsend, just using smtp). I actually have some spare time this weekend to try implementing this.
