I would hope things would calm down a bit, as well. Sending a massive mail bomb to the list may have been innappropriate, but so is continuing to send unwanted mail to a user who has made repeated unsubscribe requests. Why are some of you insisting on waging a flame war?!! What do you intend to gain from such puerility?
I am encouraged that at least some voices of reason are now emerging amidst all of this, and I would hope that the cypherpunks would try to understand the frustation of those who have their unsubscribe requests ignored and continue to receive unwanted mail.
You are a fucking prick. There is nothing ANY of us can do to get you off the list. IF you want off, you'll have to wait. Meanwhile, why don't you quit posting to the list since you want off so fucking bad?
