How many on cypherpunks?
It was at about 700 subscribers for several months, then the first big "outage" a month or so ago caused the number to drop way off. Last I checked (send the message "who cypherpunks" to majordomo@toad.com), there were about 400 subscribers. (It is likely that many of the original "700 Club" were casual subscriber, dormant accounts, gateways, whatever.)
And the list just suffered a second wipe-out of the subscriber list, so I don't know right now how many are even seeing this.
My week-old 'who' shows 450; yesterday's shows 180. I see this second outage as an omen - the cypher gods want less traffic ;-) So I'm _not_ going to send a mailer to the differential list of users I have, this time! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rishab Aiyer Ghosh They came for the Jews, and I was silent because I was not a Jew; rishab@dxm.ernet.in They came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not protest, because I did not Voice/Fax/Data +91 11 6853410 belong to a trade union; Voicemail +91 11 3760335 They came for the Catholics, and I said nothing because I was not a Catholic; H 34C Saket And then they came for me.

Zeke In Germany they first came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me -- and by that time no one was left to speak up.
