   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.

   [1]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,

   Well, I looked at the file
   [4]http://cypherpunks.venona.com/raw/cyp-1995.txt
    using my browser.   First, I looked for "Assassination Politics", and
   found two (yes, TWO) references,
   I then looked for "AP" and found nothing,
   What is going on?
