So yur a quitter, ay.

Why would I do something which has no benefit? Why would I do something that is worse than not doing it? Repeating myself is probably not useful, and you didn't respond the first time I wrote these things and gave my own reasoning, but perhaps the following summary makes more sense? Those who don't care, are uneducatable, and will receive no benefit from having to manually reassemble links. Those who do care, either already upgraded their apps/ security, or are receptive to education, and will be irritated by having to manually reassemble links - everyone on the cypherpunks list is expected to be willing to learn about computer security at the very least, and in general is assumed to have at least some knowledge, or else to present their questions. Those who "just land here 'cause someone said it was cool" learn pretty quick. Those I care about, I educate. On this list, broken links are worse than unbroken links.

Delete this.

Here they are: https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/ Administrator would have to be asked, he would bounce the request to the list, and a few folk would vehemently object, I'm sure.

If we put a warning next to every link

Confirmed Mykrosift employee.

As another example, you could ask the list administrator to customize the list code, to auto put a warning next to every link that comes through in an email. - this would be much more fool proof than expecting email authors to do it, and sometimes they forget (we're humans...) - this would be objected to since signed emails would be broken - the digital signatures would no longer be verifiable. But there are many assumptions in your responses to me, and taking one "If..." sentence out of context, without any meaningful response to the context, is getting tiring. If you disagree with my position, I don't understand the substance, the why, the reasoning behind why you say breaking links in emails to this email list, is a good thing to do. I tried to infer that you mean "it's more secure" or something, but even that's just an assumption on my part, just me inferring your unspoken reasoning. I've been assuming good intention so far, but to have my reasoning ignored and not responded to, and one hypothetical taken out of context, is disappointing. Broken links are less than useful, provide a negative benefit, especially on this email mailing list. Put up your reasoning, or stop trolling please..
