If this topic does not get blown off this list I would like to offer some specifics responses to your good stuff.
What say, c'punks, is this topic okay here? Tim? Anybody? TLAs?

My name invoked again? I haven't been reading the arguments here, except by skimming to see if anything new or amazing is presented, so I won't comment. As to what's appropriate for the list: - I'm not in charge of the list. - The list didn't even control Detweiler, so it's pretty unlikely to bar or ban this kind of debate. - Personally, I think this thread is drifting off into very general and often rambling debate about government. I'd be a lot more interested if there were some tie-ins to crypto policy and technology. But, again, we're not control freaks around here, are we? It's always easier to simply skip a thread than it is to try to legislate discussion topics. --Tim May -- .......................................................................... Timothy C.
