Make Cypherpunks Great Again.
Lulz! I find it interesting that on John Gilmore's home page, under accomplishments, he says the following about the cypherpunks list:
"The Cypherpunks (with Eric Hughes and Tim May)
An informal group dedicated to public education and dissemination of encryption (also known as cryptography, the science and art of secret writing). I originally hosted the mailing list (cypherpunks@toad.com) and provided space for the first few years' worth of meetings. A descendant of the mailing list is still operating; subscribe to cryptography@metzdowd.com."
No mention of the current cypherpunks list :P

Whasamtter John don't like my posts about Geofeedia stalking black activists? It's a waste of time and bandwidth responding to trolls and the resultant flames. I'd MUCH RATHER be posting stuff like the above and discussing it, but I see a LOT of disruption being caused by what appear to be one or two posters using a number of different emails and fuck you if I can't point out the disruption. Or the psychological stalking by someone using what appears to be a stolen identity, of quite a few people resulting from involvement in the list. Rr
