So far it's carried 1-2 announcements per month. Should we create it as a mailing list, moderated or unmoderated, or as a newsgroup? (It's been a moderated mailing list, run by John and Hugh.)
Deja-News now carries both alt.cypherpunks and alt.cypherpunks.announce. There was never a problem with cypherpunks-announce. Whoever volunteered to run the monthly meeting just emailed to Hugh, who posted the announcement. I would suggest to avoid fixing what isn't broken and make alt.cypherpunks.announce a moderated list with Hugh and Eric as the moderators. The cypherpunks* lists on toad.com could be set up as mail-to-news gateways (I volunteer to do so if needed) and all current subscribers unsubscribed after a suitable warning outlining ways of accessing USENET. If the list owner should so desire, I volunteer to write the tutorial. -- Lucky Green mailto:shamrock@netcom.com PGP encrypted mail preferred "I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence."
