"Jocks enforcing ideology" seems to me to be a concept coterminous with "flaming the clueless."

Well, my response was meant to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek, of course, and I'm sure I deserved whatever polite reprimand lurked within John Young's, um, reply. But no subscriber, at least to a first approximation, has the power to shut others up here ("come on out and enforce whatever ideology it is desired we bow down to"). If you think that Tim is being critical, well, that's the way that Tim is sometimes. Go ahead and killfile him. I routed two subscribers to my trash folder years ago on the account I use to subscribe to cypherpunks and do not regret it. Not only is complaining not going to work, it's not a very cypherpunkly thing to do (to the extent that there is any commonly-held understanding of cypherpunkly duties, you know). :) -Declan
