Hey, folks, I'm a libertarian, and even voted for John Hospers in 1972. But the Cypherpunks mailing list has over 1200 subscribers, and cross-copying to it for these debates is not a good idea. I presume the same is true about cross-copying Cypherpunks stuff onto "nwlibertarians@teleport.co," but I can't say for sure. What I know is that wide cross-posting (or cross-copying) is the bane of lists these days. There are so many lists, so much overlap, that the temptation is great to cc: any conceivably-related list. Hey, no one speaks for Cypherpunks, least of all me, but I think cross-copying between libertarian, or digital commerce, or Wobbly, or International Socialist Women of Color, or Unabomber Brigade mailing lists to the Cypherpunks list is inappropriate. --Tim May, member of Cypherpunks list, but not the others Boycott "Big Brother Inside" software!
