Hi, I am Igor Chudov, a great while ago I was involved in running this
mailing list via my proposal of a distributed list. Then junk messages
became too time consuming and I got busy.

I decided to subscribe to take a peek recently, and wanted to ask if
this mailing list has bona fide discussions of cryptography, its role
in the modern economy, finance and politics, etc.

Thanks

Nope. It's dead meat. Troll hill. So it goes.

   I try to post security technology-related items. I don't see much

   Ps. This was never a cryptography list.
   Pps: This list seems to be infested by right-wing libertarian
   feudalists who think they're anarchists, but I'm used to that from
   living near Silicon Valley for 40 years. Some think they're hippies
   cause they're hipsters, too. It was fun watching a drug discussion a
   while back. Maybe the list will self-correct after a while if enough of
   them believe their own bs powder drug fantasies and croak.
