	Actually, the people who should make a new list are the people
	who don't agree with basic libertarian tenets (you Georgi for
	instance) and who want to discuss useless an irrelevant
	technical matters (you Georgi)

	People who are not interested in (crypto) anarchy, and are
	interested in stupid hardware and software bugs and how to
	'exploit' them should go to the so called 'cryptography'
	mailing list. 

	Here's the address again, in case you can't find it.


	
	http://www.metzdowd.com/mailman/listinfo/cryptography

	""Cryptography" is a low-noise moderated mailing list devoted
	to cryptographic technology and its political impact." 


	translation : 
	
	"Cryptography" is a content-free, censored cesspool.
	
	Now, go there and enjoy yourself Georgi, and all the rest.
