A huge amount of the value of this list, for me at least, is that events and news are seen through the lens of a certain kind of skepticism that only security people seem to have, along with some technological sophistication and a willingness to "think the unthinkable." This is consistent with a wide range of political and social and religious beliefs. It's how you can mix anarchocapitalists and greens and anarchocommunists and various flavors of libertarians and various others, and still get an interesting list with real discussion on it, instead of endless flamewars.
Where are the endless flamewars? In fact, though Matt Beland has complained that the libertarians have driven off all the good posters, I found that he has written virtually no posts himself, until the last few days. When he added his criticism of libertarians, I did not recognize his name, so I looked for past articles he has written: a few in 2001 and a few in 2002. If he and others like him want more content, they ought to be writing it. --Tim May
