I agree with Dale here...requiring PGP in order to post would probably deter low-level, idiot spammers, but it would also keep those people off the list who, for one reason or another, don't like/want/use PGP.
People who don't like using PGP, or can't use it, or won't use it, do not belong on this list.
Also, what about people who post to and read the list from someplace other than their home computer, like school or work? I have access to this account from my college, but I'm sure not going to leave my keys lying around my account just so I can post to a mailing list.
Easy. Keep a copy of PGP there and a copy of the list public key. It's okay to leave public keys lying around. I might add that this is not "just a mailing list." It is the Cypherpunks mailing list. It's worth a little trouble. If you don't agree, find a list which is. Peter Hendrickson ph@netcom.com

That's a very good question, Dale... Have you seen any traffic from the stupid cocksucker John Gilmore after the recent allegation that he died from AIDS??? --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps

I can only imagine what Gilmore's response would be, say, in person. Something on the order of "I can neither confirm nor deny". (Just a guess).

Does this also apply to people who don't 'trust' PGP, or who feel more secure using another form of encryption? Are you working on a 'commission' basis, here? Toto

In the interests of freedom, just in case you missed it, it's called MLM/PGP, i.e, PGP is the ultimate multi-level marketing tool.

Did I miss getting in on the 'ground floor', here? Damn. Well, I guess I'll just have to wait for the next email telling how to "MAKE BIG $$$$'. (my psychic abilities tell me that I won't have to wait long)
