I say, let's expand the scope of the Cypherpunks list to include more discussion of viruses. We can't let it become a monopoly of the Authorities (the Brunner Authority instead of the Turing Authority?)

I say, unless it has to do with cryptography, please don't. Does anybody else want a lot of virus articles on this list? I found the original thug article a bit questionable, as I said. But a new list (viruspunks?) might be a good idea.

Count a vote in for viruspunks... I too wish to keep cipherpunks clean even though I love viruses and I wish to have a pure thread about applied crypto and anonymity techniques... --
