Scientists flocked to toad.com recently in response to the first authenticated sighting of a Perrygram in months. The Perrygram, only recently thought extinct, was spotted on the cypherpunks mailing list after an absence of several months. Specialists speculate that it may have detected the recent list increase in its favorite food - pure, unadulterated bullshit.
In fact, Perrygrams are dead because I've given up on this list. There is no more cryptography discussion going on -- the list is basically a very low grade political rant forum, with most of the rants having no relevance to crypto. (I suppose "I told you so" doesn't help much.) Anyway, as soon as I find a home for Cypherpunks Mark II I'm starting it and unsubscribing from here. Cypherpunks is dead. This happens to all mailing lists eventually. I suppose it had to happen here. (Finding a new list home has been a low priority project for me recently because I've been busy with "real work" -- however, if you run (I emphasize *run*) a well connected site and can handle a list with 1500 subscribers or so, and don't mind a somewhat more restrictive charter than "post anything you like at any time", please get in touch.)
