I am writing this post to inform subcsribers of this list of the problems I have seen in this service. The number one problem being off subject discussion I understand that the name of this is cypherpunks, but why not put a little more cypher and a lot less punk. I can understand how it can all get started One person posts some intelligent information. Then another replys dissagreeing with the original sender. Then the sender takes it personally, and feels a need to flame the other. There is nothing wrong with flaming a bit, but for the name-sake of this mailer, please post more realevent (or at least interesting) information. Logos take a chill pill. You aren't a policeman. Tim May, do ^^^^^^^^^^^ you have anything on subject to discuss? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I've initiated more threads on crypto-related and politico-crypto topics than nearly anyone else. If you haven't seen them, you've been on the list too short a time to be making such pronouncements as you've just made. --Tim May

p.s. Logos, Tim May nothing personal, I hope.

And don't take it personally that "jc105558@spruce.hsu.edu" is now in my kill file. Just say "No" to "Big Brother Inside" We got computers, we're tapping phone lines, I know that that ain't allowed. ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
