It's allright, I haven't read anything worthwhile here in years. I hope that you're exaggerating;)

I'm just wondering if Eugen Leitl ever contributed anything useful, or he's just a lurker/whiner who hasn't contributed anything worthwhile himself.

I find lots of good stuff from him, but not since the list went to shit.

...

And I concur. There's an attempt to hijack the list by alt-right trolls that seemed to begin when the majority of people who actually post supported io during his vilification by institutional slander.

Yes, that was the timing. But it's puzzling. I mean, are the alt-right trolls part of the anti-io cabal? But Z*n and Alex were io supporters! Maybe they were double agents ;) Or maybe they aren't really either, but rather ED/*chan assholes, just in it for the lulz. Hard to say.

I'm reminded of Jack Barsky, the former Soviet spy who coded for years for IBM etc.[0,1] This from the Guardian piece is very interesting:

So I wonder how much of the alt-right are actually Russian agents. That would be such a fucking coup! USA, pwned ;)

Interesting theory ;). Z*n used to post strictly russian propaganda bullshit, then slowly converted to his current (as of when i blocked him anyway) Trump alt-right anti-semitic fascist nazi persona.

Maybe the FSB asked him to switch it up ;)

If I told you I ...

I never thought Alex was smart enough to be his handler, in fact his responses were so moronic and transparent it seems he's stopped posting. Again, maybe at the FSB's direction ;)

Our ways are far too intelectuall for a schooled lad like yourself :D

The wonderful world we live in.

Isn't it just.
