greg doesn't want us to post to the list. what do we do instead. we could climb. how about we find climbing behavior? costs money to do as traffick boss wants. is okay.

I didn't ask you to not post. I suggested in the past that the email backlog would likely be improved if you sent fewer longer messages, rather than so many very short ones.

What I wrote today was a summary of the backlog that grew due to you sending so many messages:

I'm inferring you'd like me to post less because of your choice to convey this to me. Honestly, it would probably be good for me to try to post less at this point. It's certainly easier if you're okay with the spam, [although it is kind of just charity for me here].

Hi Karl. FYI, the backlog of undelivered emails to cypherpunks subscribers has grown significantly today, due to you sending so many messages:

$ for i in Sat Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri; do echo -n $i " " ; mailq | grep cypherpunks-bounces | grep -c $i done Sat 0 Sun 4 Mon 6 Tue 33 Wed 46 Thu 5 Fri 743

The 743 number is more than the number of messages you have sent, because Mailman batches in groups of approximately 50. So, every outgoing message is sent as multiple batches.

What this means is that the gmail users (and also cock.li and a few other domains) are not getting your emails. They might eventually get them, likely out of order. Or they might just bounce permanently.

You've sent well over 100 messages today. ~ Greg
