That and simple notification in the header. I am as yet undecided which one I think might come first.
FWIW, my vote would be "autonag" first.
The thing that's particularly alluring about the independent agent idea is that you don't have to (ab?)use your position as list maintainer to implement it,
This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. On one hand, harmony is maintained. (I hear the guffaws too.) On the other, the message isn't nearly as strong. To reiterate, I am willing to use my position to send a stronger message.
Sure. I'm not sure the message would get through as you're framing it, though. People don't react well to messages that are put too strongly... a gentle, gradual approach is more likely to get through. "Cypherpunks grok the importance of digital signatures" is the message you want to get through, not "Eric wants to punish people who don't use digital signatures," no? Somebody here suggests: "I think he should send everyone who uses digital signatures a cookie. A big chocolate chip cookie." It is understood that delivery might be a problem. I can offer habaneros. It's not clear whether that would be a stick or a carrot. -- Todd Masco | "Roam home to a dome, Where Georgian and Gothic once stood cactus@hks.net | Now chemical bonds alone guard our blond(e)s, cactus@bb.com | And even the plumbing looks good." - B Fuller
