Ok. I'll "put up". If the cypherpunks will have me, -I'll- run the cypherpunks list. Those that know me know that I will *not* censor, moderate, or otherwise alter the content (other than the stuff majordomo does with "resend") of any messages to the list.

I think that it is a great idea. If you want to contribute to the effort to keep the list, this is great. You could join the network of other cypherpunks mailing lists. There is a small list for discussing these networking issues, cypherpunks-hosts@algebra.com. It is not for crypto-discussions per se, but rather for discussing how we proceed with these lists.

If I understood the last several hundred messages correctly, they have tried to make the point that the cypherpunks mailing list (unedited) was more ideal than a newsgroup. If this is what Dave is offering, I'm surprised if more people don't jump on it. Then again, they took their good ol' time jumping onto cypherpunks-unedited.

I think that the ideas of a distributed list and the idea of alt.cypherpunks are both good and these two mediums complement each other. - Igor.
