Perhaps by being more charitable to non-hardcore crypto discussions (Perry), the list could attract more members. Large groups are much more difficult to prosecute (persecute) than small ones (yes I know, it's not how big it
While Perry would be the first to agree his style can be a bit rough at times, I have to feel it is warrented. This group is over 700 people. The goal of this list is to CODE, not to Get as many people to join as possible. By forcefully asserting his option Perry creates many effects; one of those being that we are still working on CODE. An other effect is to helping to keep the S/N ratio high. Any other ill effects are minor compared to the positive effects I mention. Sure it would be nice if Perry interacted differently but then he wouldn't be Perry... I would suggest rather then trying to change Perry you start your own list for the purpose of discussion you indicate.
