This is the fault of those "various places." Frankly, worrying about
what a 1993 blurb in "The Village Voice" says is the Korrect
Cypherpunks Address seems quaint.
And it is up to John Gilmore, who runs toad.com, to decide how to
handle newbie requests addressed to his site, given that he announced
in 1997 that he no longer wished to host the Cypherpunks list and
that we should move our traffic to other sites forthwith.
