Here's a form letter I expect to send to people who I see asking about the status of the list. If someone has better information than I have, I'll be happy to use it, or to let someone else handle responses. THIS IS A FORM LETTER (to save me having to type the same stuff) You have asked what happened to the Cypherpunks list. I don't know, but as of Sunday night, 8 May, there were only about a dozen or so subscribers. Apparently something happened to the list. I have messages in to Eric Hughes and Hugh Daniel. The subscriber list may get restored. I don't know. You can also resubscribe by sending a message to majordomo@toad.com with this as the body: subscribe cypherpunks If this is successful, you'll get a confirmation message within a few minutes. Volume is likely to be low, until things get back to normal. I hope this helps. --Tim May, not acting officially on behalf of the list. -- .......................................................................... Timothy C.
