Sorry to hit the whole list with this, but 2 out of the 3 recipients to his message bounced my mail (jpp@jpplap (Jay Prime Positive) does not work, and "la-cypherpunks@toad.com" is apparently not the name of the LA Cypherpunks discussion list. Since several of you have asked about an LA meeting, here's my message. Forwarded message: From: tcmay (Timothy C. May) Subject: I'll be in LA from 5-20 to 5-23 To: jpp@jpplap, ghio@andrew.cmu.edu Date: Sun, 15 May 1994 14:32:29 -0700 (PDT) Cc: tcmay (Timothy C. May), la-cypherpunks@toad.com (I'm just guessing that "la-cypherpunks@toad.com" is the right address; if not, could someone forward or respond to the correct list?) I'll be in Hermosa Beach visiting my brother from Friday to Monday, and would (as I have said before) be interested in attending an LA-Cypherpunks meeting, presumably on Saturday the 21st. Others have contacted me about this, but I've told them to watch for the organizers to announce such a meeting. Jay PP has said he'd be willing to host a meeting. The moral on these things, in my experience, is not to wait for some kind of Grand Consensus, there being no voting or debating goint on. As they say, "just do it." Assuming it's on a Saturday, and is not too far away, I'll be there. ("Too far away" might be Riverside, for example.) Even a small gathering (several people) could be useful...perhaps more useful than the mega-meetings of 40 or more people we usually have in the Bay Area. I hope to hear from you folks. --Tim May -- .......................................................................... Timothy C.
