For many years a "cypherpunks-who" request to the server would deliver a list of subscribers (not the list of posters). Many subscribers did not post. Others used psuedos, changed nyms, subbed under different addresses and affiliations. Some copied and used other subscribers' nyms to post, ridicule, attack, stir up trouble. The list changed hosts. There were several branches off the original trunk And much more mayhem. Cpunks was and is supposed to work that way, its not meant to be a reliable forum (as some branches aspired to be). Not surprising that there are gaps, accidental, on purpose, through negligence, machinic errors, malice, ideological differences, forgeries, thefts. May be a pipe dream to gather everything, stuff has gone missing from the internet since its beginning and not likely to ever stop. Spam and hucksterism are eternal Its a fools gold fantasy to think stuff endures somewhere. None of the major archives are complete and are riddled with errors and misinformation. And its getting worse through every increasing volume of puke and planting of huge amount of commercial junk. Promoters of aggregating and conserving the data tsunami are full of shit. Mostly they peddle fear and salvation. BTW, Jim, AP could get a boost by claiming it could exterminate child sex predators. At 01:31 PM 11/10/2019, jim bell wrote:
I want to do an email alerting 1995/96 users of the Cypherpunks list to the forgery of the 1995 docket. Could somebody make a list of the email addresses of people sending/receiving emails in 1996? Just a list of unique emails addresses, of course. Then, could somebody check those names and email addresses against the early 2000's Cypherpunks archives, perhaps to catch email changes?
This is important. Thank you.
