This list is a joke
When I subscribed to this list, I thought it would have decent communication on worthwhile topics. I've come to realize though that 75% of the messages I receive are from people whining like 4 year olds. I am making a huge assumption in saying that most of the people on this list are adults. It is time to start acting like it. Please take my name off of this list.

We would all do well to remember Sturgen's Rule. For those of you who do not know the story, Theodore Sturgen(sp?) is/was a noted science fiction writer. At a science fiction convention some years back he began a speech by saying, "Ninty percent of all science fiction is crap!" The audience was stunned into absolute silence by his blasphemy. After a pause of several beats, Sturgen quietly added, "Ninty percent of EVERYTHING is crap." Cypherpunks should take pride in having a crap content of only seventy-five percent. Keep up the good work folks.

You're an adult, Dave. You'll have to do that yourself (and no whining, okay?) S a n d y ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I joined this mailing list, it had plenty of technical discussions posted by people knowledgeable in cryptography. They have all since left. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
