[SUGGESTION] signal/noise ratio
In the interest of those who wish a significant increase in the signal/noise ratio I make a proposal. Significant crypto related posts could be prefaced with [CRYPTO] on the subject line on a strictly volunteer basis, that way those desiring a more topical list could have one simply by setting the appropriate filter. Items crypto related but missing the [CRYPTO] header could be reposted by well meaning souls. Other appropriate headers could of course be used. Brian

Sounds like a good idea, but what do you define as "significant crypto"? Also, what's to stop the anonymous idiot and several other well-known list.idiots from doing the same?

I have several useful FAQ's and documents available.
