Just out of curiousity, how large *is* Cypherpunks? I've been subscribed just about a week now, but I've been quite pleasantly shocked by the S/N ratio, after getting completely turned off by the Sternlight wars on Usenet. Ironic that a group calling themselves "punks" should be civilized, intelligent, scholarly, altruistic, and basic good 'net citizens, while sci.crypt is often little more than a bunch of people playing "did so!" games. And the PGP group!
