No mention of the current cypherpunks list :P
Right. That tells you exactly what gilmore stands for. His EFF was already and correctly seen as corrupt and useless 20 years ago - check the archives of gilmore's original, 'own' cypherpunk mailing list. Also, the amount of effort needed to learn what kind of textbook example of unintentional self-pardoy the 'cryptography' mailing list is, is very low. Just spend ten minutes reading the pseudo technical garbage that gets posted to that fully censored cesspool =)
