     [spam][spam]
     I think it was off the general list topics. As in, not very related
     to the cryptoanarchist topics we're allegedly here for.
     However, I didn't think it was spam. Maybe that's just me: SPAM is
     more or less equivalent, in my mind, to unsolicited commercial email
     (UCE). We barely get any of that on the cypherpunks list.

   These are often things I don't want to say, or are said when I do not
   want to say them.  From brainwashing.  [spam] helps me have ease by
   helping me feel better spamming the list.
   And if people filter around [spam] instead of around me, they might
   hear me when I have something important to say, if I can learn to
   differentiate well again.
   Regarding UCE, commercial email is not only about selling products.
   Hopefully that's clear to a community like this?  Being a paid troll is
   a huge thing now.

     BTW, the old archives at [2]https://lists.cpunks.org are filled with
     UCE.

     I found the discussion about whether rusted iron filings are
     magnetic to be completely within bounds for the cypherpunks list.
     Again, that's just my opinion.

   Rust is a newer systems programming language, at a glance to me it
   looks like it is trying to be secure.

     Without trying to speak for anyone but myself: Do as you please with
     the subject headings. I was merely suggesting that the [spam] tag
     probably isn't needed, in my view.
     Trying to disrupt cypherpunks is sort of a cottage industry around
     here. When disruption is the norm, it makes disruption tougher to
     do!
       Greg

   Or easier but yeah ...
   Uhh ...
   I have severe problems preserving and accessing information.  That
   might be why a lot of [spam] ends up here.  I need a way to store
   feelings without losing them, somewhere.
