According to FutureNerd Steve Witham:

Hi, folks.

Just in case at any point in the near or far future, cypherpunks has any extended mail problems, and anyone wants to get in touch with me as a person who was on the cypherpunks list, feel free to send to fnerd@smds.com or ...uunet!smds.com!fnerd

And I'm mdiehl@triton.unm.edu. I might suggest that we try to create an encrypted cypherpunks list? Comments?

I know there are hacks to find out who the subscribers are, (or are they plugged?) but I'd just like to publicly say that it's okay to take down my address, whoever you are. What's yours?

I think publishing the raw list might be construed as impolite and disrespectful of privacy, but a compilation of willing addressees might be nice.

Agreed.

It would be interesting to have list software that worked the way those exponential-spreading, redundant, church-closing- because-of-snow phone call networks work (i.e., Usenet with even more emphasis on decentralization and redundancy). Also, a virtual archive server on the same model would be cool.

We could set up aliases and distribute a common secret key for the list....

An encrypted cypherpunks list? Why? To try and hide the forum's messages from the TLAs? I'm sure they already have people readin this list who'd be incorporated into the encrypted list too. Or do you plan to verify each reader before giving them the password or whatever? I fail to see the point. -- PGP 2.2 Key by finger

Sounds good to me. the only use that whould bring is to get us to get more serious about key extange and to develop easier software for reading/scaning encrypted messages. On the other hand it would no benefit us in the way of that

Yes, this is a much needed improvement in this group.

it would not us to get our messages and views to the world. (Last I checked this was not a exclusive email list).

I completely agree. +-----------------------+-----------------------------+---------+ | J.
