In case others have the same question, I'll give my opinion publically:
If one can't spare the time for the whole meeting, what are the best three hours to come?
Thanks, Bob Solovay
Cypherpunks meetings officially start at noon and last 'til "whenever," which is usually about 5 p.m. But things often don't get rolling until around 12:30 or so, and may end around 4:30 on a "light" day. Since missing the first part of the meeting can be bad (announcements, hot topics, etc.), I'd recommend getting to _any_ meeting at the starting time, or just a bit late, and then staying as long as its interesting to one. The "best three hours" are probably noon-3. Your mileage may vary, as they say. --Tim May -- .......................................................................... Timothy C.
