In the last couple of days, I wanted to remind myself of the timing of the first appearance of my Assassination Politics essay on the Cypherpunks list. My recollection is that I published Part 1 on the Digitaliberty mailing list, maintained by Bill Frezza, on FIDOnet. At that time, I was unaware of the existence of the Cypherpunks email list. At some point, somebody saw my essay, and posted a reference (or a copy) to Cypherpunks, I believe. And at some point, I was invited to the Cypherpunks list. But over 24 years later, I don't recall the exact timing. I know, I believe, that Part 2 wasn't written until later in July, 1995.
So to recall this, I just searched for 'cypherpunks archive'. I found the site listed in the title, figuring that it would contain the information I sought. https://mailing-list-archive.cryptoanarchy.wiki/ That looked promising. I looked at: mailing-list-archive.cryptoanarchy.wiki which, promisingly, showed the years 1992-1999. So far, so good, Since the information I sought should have appeared in 1995, I clicked on that year, Weirdly, the information for March and April and June was not present, Huh? This was, pretty much, the time frame I needed to search,
Am I imagining things? Could somebody look for various strings, like "Jim Bell", or "Assassination Politics", or "AP", etc?
Well, it's not like my existence was entirely deleted. https://mailing-list-archive.cryptoanarchy.wiki/authors/jim_bell_jimbell_at_pacifier_com_/
But something very weird is going on, The information I sought, is not included, Is this a mere accident? What is the pattern, here?
