I seem to remember someone who boosted his own karma rating around here for a while by posting full NYT articles to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Young stopped. I did too. Of course, it took a nastygram from NYT's lawyers to stop him. And, since the NYT doesn't read cypherpunks anymore, :-), it took a surprisingly polite request from Mr. May to (more or less :-)) stop me a few years back. I believe he actually said "please", and included no threat of physical force, which was, frankly, shocking, given our relationship at the time. So, I continued to send stuff to e$pam, which we folded, and DCSB, which got the same reaction as cypherpunks so I quit there, and, later, dbs, which doesn't matter because I own the list. Oddly enough, dbs' subscribership has stabilized and gone up a smidge since, which is nice. I also send crypto-relevant bits to cryptography, which Perry moderates, sending along what he thinks the readership wants to see, which might be what John's mewling about above. Of course, I haven't checked my killfile, but I bet Choate still persists in posting un-contexted links here, which are, for the most part much more annoying, though considerably more parsimonious of bandwidth. It must be all that hard groundwater in Texas causing extreme hard-headness in character. In Young's and my case, it got diluted by all that acid rain up here in the NE, and we eventually learned to listen to reason, if not threats of impecuniosity and/or bodily harm. For Choate, of course, who's still drinking the stuff, there's apparently no hope. Anyway, John, for old time's sake, a little Spanglish aphorism is in order: "Y tu mama tambien, Cabron".
