Digital signatures to be required?
My C-punks feed comes over a UUCP connection, and I only poll once or twice per day, under normal circumstances. I'd likely never notice a 6-hour delay, and hence wouldn't give a shit one way or the other. Delaying message posting seems likely to exacerbate the "ask a question, get the same answer 8 times" problem. If we're going to reward some behaviors and punish others, I'd prefer to see something that'd create exponentially increasing delays for > 1 post per person per 24 hours; of course, remailers make that impractical. Imposing a digital signature requirement strikes me as an arbitrary exercise of authority which would be largely without benefit. I doubt that people interested in the C-punks list are the folks who need to be dragged kicking & screaming into the 21st century; at least not in terms of personal use of technology. :) Count mine as a "NO" vote; let's talk about the delay thing again when we come up with a filter that can spot "what is [anarchy|libertarianism] anyway?" or bogus pseudo-economic jibberish. -- Greg Broiles greg@goldenbear.com Baked, not fried.
