I have mail.cypherpunks though, and I thought that was the usenet newsgroup for cypherpunks.
let's see what dejanews says about this one.
How about every posting to alt.underground for the time being, until we get this matter settled?
John,
I think that you would be the best author for writing the official alt.cypherpunks FAQ. I have no doubt that many readers will appreciate your effort and it will win you a lot of new points with them.
One thing is, you have a lot of ideas, and two, your writing style is very good (you are a law doctor after all).
The FAQ should not be necessarily very big.
- Igor.
But I have never been on the cypherpunks mailing list. I only got involved because they were in the header of some F-K list mail. And I think that Dr. Vulis would be much better qualified than I would be. My Doctorate was in Law, but Dimitri did his in math and/or cryptography, which is more appropriate. All I can say is that it should be a list where everybody is required to state their sex and sexual orientation up front. And the rule MUST BE that you are a queer by default. We MUST have a correct sexual definition up front, and nobody is allowed to say, "I refuse to state my sexuality" because we then know that they are closet homosexuals. what we want is the truth up front. BTW, all five of the newsgroups in this header are available through dejanews for posting to, if you use them in the current order. the a.g.g. newsgroup ate dejanews gets your article posted to ANY other newsgroup, including alt.cypherpunks and cypherpunks.cunt

Yes--and given the role Dr. Vulis has played in this matter it would be most appropriate for him to write an FAQ (although I personally ignore most FAQs).
Perhaps it would be more appropriate for the good doctor to write a FUQs.
Why not do it like the Declaration of Independence? A primary author puts the basic document together, and other persons with expertise in other important areas add to it, then it gets circulated on the list for comments and suggestions. "Other areas" not normally addressed in these kinds of documents should include subscribers' awareness that the crypto lists are a prime target of attention from federal agencies, et al, and that much of the material posted could be pure disinformation.

I do not think that any Federal Agency would be interested in any group so undisciplined as cypherpunks.
