Someone should set up a web page on that wonderful explosive made from red phosphorus and potassium chlorate. It is potent, and its extreme instability makes it very good in booby traps. It was used for this purpose in Word War I. Its remarkable instablity also makes applying it successfully an intelligence test that few would pass. --digsig James A.

Why are we talking about this? There are dozens of websites and books that cover all of this. It is boring. It is pointless.

Ditto, and it can be used to mischaracterize the list and participants.

Well put. Whenever a reporter needs to do a story about c'punks he'll look at the archive and see this huge thread of idiotic posts about bombs, and he'll say, "Yup, I thought so. Violent anti-government terrorist wannabes." At a rational level, that isn't true; c'punks aren't violent anti-government terrorist wannabes. But at a psychological or emotional level, that's what it would look like to an outsider. And it's boring.

Hey that is a lot more interesting than talking about bombs. At least styles change, and have something to do with aesthetics. Bomb stuff is just the same boring old stuff, and it looks ugly.

The thread is only about 15 posts so far. And there have been similar threads for the better part of a decade. Trying to discourage them is not exactly going to work.

Heck, you could say the same thing about "cryptoanarchy wrecking the tax system" or "anonymous remailers would let terrorists communicate with impunity." -Declan

Because we can. See Descartes.

They do not post here.

Some people are bored. You bore me with your whining. You don't get it, do you?

1 vote for moderation, check. Crossing the street to get to the other side can be mischaracterized. So can using a toilet properly and then flushing afterwards.

Check the archives Aimee, look for crossposts between cypherpunks and the rhizome-raw list (oh, about 18-24 months ago, wild guess). Do you think a group of happy-clappy homemakers can do better? Reese
