perhaps we should add "how to get the hell away from those crazy cypherpunks" to the FAQ...

Well there are a bunch of lurkers and occasionally pigs sprout wings and you catch a post from Lucky or Young. Cypherpunk is so 80's and early 90's ... ;) I figure we are at the point where we maybe get a dozen meaningful posts a year. We have gone the way of usenet and bbs's. We will be remember if a half dozen obscure books, a broke remailer (as in actual use, not in code), and Jim Bell. Another group will spring up to replace us, such is life.

Actually, after the recent round of publicity postings by coderman (to, e.g., full-disclosure), we've gotten a bunch of new lurkers. I've seen lots of subscribe requests come over the wire in the past week-and-some. Maybe we can resuscitate this beast. I suppose a good start would be de-lurking myself, but we shall see if that's really a possibility or not. As to the make-your-own-node howto, I haven't had the opportunity yet, but I see the glimmer of free time at the end of the tunnel, so it really is forthcoming, after a fashion. -- Riad S.

We almost certainly can. It's a lot of work, though.

Rock on. I'll probably virtually completely disappear after end October, though. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
The best way to unsubscribe to Cypherpunks is to send an email to Tim May telling him you want to unsubscribe. -TD
