We must preserve the Cypherpunks Mailing List archives! IMPORTANT!

[Tom Busby]

I've written a blog post about this with further details if anyone is
interested:

https://cryptoanarchy.wiki/blog/2018/07/05/the-cypherpunks-mailing-list-archives-must-be-preserved.html

The primary reason I'm sending this email is to appeal to those of you who
have been active on the list since before July 2013 (when the switch to GNU
Mailman occurred) and to those of you who know now-inactive subscribers who
may also have this information.

There is a total black hole in terms of available archived threads from
early 1999 to mid 2013. I've contacted the guy who ran the al-qaeda.net
node and dug around in the way back machine trying to locate these
archives. No luck so far.

I'm worried this information will be lost permanently if a concerted effort
isn't made to preserve it now, while *some* of it is perhaps still
preserved on people's hard drives. I have no doubt that some (maybe most)
of the threads from the early 2000s may already be lost permanently.

Please get in touch if you think you can help out at all.
