(In any case, even for those who disagree, modern filtering techniques make it trivial for the "gurus" to filter out all messages except by the several of themselves, so I've never understood the point about how the list must purge itself of "noise.")
To support Tim's thesis, I'll point out that I use the following lisp configuration directives (among others) along with a news-highlighting package that I hacked up (gnus-live.el) in order to make reading this list (bridged to a newsgroup at my site) a much nicer experience. When I enter the newsgroup, the authors and topics that I like are highlighted. I read this 5% of the list in about 15 min, skim another 5%, and then delete the other 90%. - From my perspective cypherpunks seems to be pretty * HIGH * bandwidth! ------------------------------ snip! ------------------------------ (gnus-live "Subject" "GAK Hacks and Position Surveillance") (gnus-live "Subject" "Libertarian Party and Crypto Anarchy") (gnus-live "Subject" "List of reliable remailers") (gnus-live "Subject" "^[A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]_[a-z][a-z][a-z] *$") ; jya's <FOO>-paper articles (gnus-live "From" "Steven Levy <steven@echonyc\\.com>") (gnus-live "From" "Bruce Schneier <schneier@winternet\\.com>") (gnus-live "From" "payne@openmarket\\.com") (gnus-live "From" "tjic@.*openmarket\\.com") (gnus-live "From" "[a-z\.]+@.*openmarket\\.com") (gnus-live "From" "tcmay@[mail\.]?got\\.net") (gnus-live "From" "bsg@basistech\\.com (Bernard S\\.
