In fact, "Cypherpunks write code" is just one manifestation of the idea that we can actually change the world through the technological development of privacy-enhancing systems. All the coding in the world doesn't matter if we don't know what we want. Political discussions which have some relevance to the technical information structure of society are relevant here. It all reduces to writing code in the end, but it's not all just writing code. I remind everyone that the phrase "cypherpunks write code" is directed at every control freak, tyrant, oppressor, and spy out in the world. I am not going to whine; I am going to do something, and much more than just vote. Let the complainers and the enforcers of dogma leave, and may the doers and thinkers be welcome and remain. Eric
