Well that's odd. I wonder what it's about? Splitting the list into what? Two with different themes? One Moderated and one Unmoderated?
There are many lists out there for stuff that Александр and Zenaan are posting. It's not that cypherpunk is apolitical. Rather, it's that stuff which simply bashes one side or the other, but has no particular connection to crypto and its social/economic/political role/potential is just plainly off-topic.
Sounds right to me. - From my own posting history it's clear that I don't mind pushing content that addresses the methods of practical politics, and some of the theory behind same. The connection of this to crypto etc. is that it illustrates contexts in which crypto (and by extension pretty much all network security considerations) can be productively used to support political means and ends. Hence relevant to threat models, product designs, education and support activities for crypto-centric applications. So far I'm not getting flamed for that.
If the latter, that's a perilous course. One sees a lot of "twin" lists and such that are one sterile and stereotyped, the other totally overrun with tards. Because once upon a time, half or more of the people on the original list who took an interest in keeping it alive /without/ censorship bailed, and those who stayed behind were gradually overwhelmed.
There's no need to do anything with the cypherpunks list. If people object to off-topic crap, they can say so. If people object to being criticized for posting off-topic crap, they can deal with it or leave. That's just how unmoderated lists work.
Also sounds right to me. Don't let's pretend we can't do it - some of the subscribers on this list are veterans of USENET.
