Sophist, paranoid nonsense. This one-month test is of a moderated *Cypherpunks* list. So there was no renaming. The unedited list was a gimme for cry babies such as Dale.
Lookie here, folks. This is the flaming jerk who'll be editing your posts to the list. Note that we have a NEW admission from the Sandy man: the unedited list was NOT in fact a given. BTW, John Gilmore says just the opposite.
When the test is complete, things will go back to the previous status if that's what folks want. If not, Cypherpunks will continue as a moderated list (of some sort, further test may be conducted if list members want).
Again, contrary to Gilmore's statement(s). Who is this guy, and is he taking over Gilmore's persona or something?
