Just remember you brought this up... Not all of us even write code. Some of us write (horrors!) books! Yes, my brethren, I earn my pay as a lowly scribe. Do I code? Nope. Am I a Cypherpunk? Christ, I don't care. I'm on this mailing list; that works fine for me. My brain expands almost daily from contact with such seditious sods. Do I contribute to the health and growth of this list? Maybe. Do I preach the Cypherpunk doctrine through my work at my company? Definitely. Just thought I'd point out that we aren't all code-monkeys. (And I mean that in the best sense of the word.)
