It's all so sad and predictable and sad again. The cypherpunks list had its glory days: Wired magazine cover stories, blossoming technology, and, yes, even those damnable tentacles. Now it's become a convenient way for the Feds to land convictions.
Perhaps it is time to consider a new and different mailing list which accepts messages ONLY from remailers. It would be publicly archived and unmoderated just as cypherpunks is, and monitored by the lions just as cypherpunks is, but now that the thought-crime laws are setting in full force, it could provide a forum where there wouldn't be such a simple evidentiary chain from post to poster.
But how are we going to filter Choatian messages?
