What have these endless bandwidth wasting lists of supposed warez sites to do with Cypherpunks? Please take your personnal vendettas elsewhere. I pay for DL time.

GRRRRRRRRRRRR...... I dont have to pay and I rather found it useful.

Then maybe a list for warez topics should be formed. I find alot of things on the cypherpunks list that is off-topic to be interesting. The list is however for the discussion of cryptography and privacy. The only thing that all people on this list have in common is their interest in crypto and privacy, and the list should stick to those points. Other topics that are interesting should be taken to private email or put on the appropriate lists (barring of course the occasional slip or wandering of the topic).

Shit, Well I'm interested in the list and I missed it as it went by so will whoever posted it PLEASE send me a copy? geoffw@nexsys.net Thanks and keep up the good work. I personally think people should use their DISCRETION when posting, not hard and fast rules. If I wanted hard and fast rules I'd sign up for Prodigy. An occasional post related to the subject that is obviously of interest to a large sub- population of cypherpunks is appropriate, perhapse in the future put a warning in the subject line so the whinners can hit the "d" key in advance and save that .25 cents or whatever it cost them. And for the person who complained about bandwidth, how do you feel about the fact that we now have to waste more flaming about wasting bandwidth. (Please don't reply to the list, reply to me if you must)
