Hi, I am Igor Chudov, a great while ago I was involved in running this

Pps: This list seems to be infested by right-wing libertarian feudalists who think they're anarchists, but I'm used to that from living near Silicon Valley for 40 years. Some think they're hippies cause they're hipsters, too. It was fun watching a drug discussion a while back. Maybe the list will self-correct after a while if enough of them believe their own bs powder drug fantasies and croak.
