Karl's [spam] (Re: *SPAM* Filter borked,)

I updated the Subject line and broke the thread for the below: On Thu, May 20, 2021 at 07:28:12PM -0400, Karl wrote:

I think it was off the general list topics. As in, not very related to the cryptoanarchist topics we're allegedly here for. However, I didn't think it was spam. Maybe that's just me: SPAM is more or less equivalent, in my mind, to unsolicited commercial email (UCE). We barely get any of that on the cypherpunks list. BTW, the old archives at https://lists.cpunks.org are filled with UCE.
I found the discussion about whether rusted iron filings are magnetic to be completely within bounds for the cypherpunks list. Again, that's just my opinion.
Without trying to speak for anyone but myself: Do as you please with the subject headings. I was merely suggesting that the [spam] tag probably isn't needed, in my view. Trying to disrupt cypherpunks is sort of a cottage industry around here. When disruption is the norm, it makes disruption tougher to do! Greg

Hey Greg, I got your email. Thanks for speaking to me. On Thu, May 20, 2021, 10:30 PM Greg Newby <gbnewby@pglaf.org> wrote:
These are often things I don't want to say, or are said when I do not want to say them. From brainwashing. [spam] helps me have ease by helping me feel better spamming the list. And if people filter around [spam] instead of around me, they might hear me when I have something important to say, if I can learn to differentiate well again. Regarding UCE, commercial email is not only about selling products. Hopefully that's clear to a community like this? Being a paid troll is a huge thing now. BTW, the old archives at https://lists.cpunks.org are filled with UCE.
Rust is a newer systems programming language, at a glance to me it looks like it is trying to be secure.
If you are truly posting something that is off-topic, then an "[offtopic]"
Or easier but yeah ... Uhh ... I have severe problems preserving and accessing information. That might be why a lot of [spam] ends up here. I need a way to store feelings without losing them, somewhere.
