Moderation has been a failure. I'm pretty good at filtering and I can sadly report that there is very little signal out there.
The quality of the Cypherpunks list is determined solely by the amount of signal. The amount of noise is irrelevant.

I wonder how Sandy will take the vote on continuing or abandoning the moderation experiment? In most states, one juror out of 12 can kill a conviction. In a revolution such as U.S. 1776, only a tiny percent of the people supported the revolution. Will Sandy go with a majority decision (pure democratic), or allow the moderation to go away if a significant minority wants to kill it?
