You won't do this, because I won't let you on the list. I, unlike you or Mr. Gilmore, have the judgement on whom to invite to my list. So what's the difference between yours and gilmore's position? Simple. I choose whom to invite to my parties. Gilmore provides an open door. Providing an open door does not mean that it is always open to everyone, Dave. It only means that it is open to all by default, but that policy can be reversed for certain individuals. That is not to say that I agree with Gilmore's the decision to kick Vulis out from cypherpunks, but John's decision was neither dishonorable nor he was acting outside his powers, in my opinion.
Technically, John Gilmore did nothing, since Vulis continues to read and post. Symbolically, he punched holes in his ideology. That's my opinion. ------ Dave Hayes - Altadena CA, USA - dave@jetcafe.org Freedom Knight of Usenet - http://www.jetcafe.org/~dave/usenet You need not wonder whether you should have a reliable person as a friend.
