Folks, this list has been getting rather noisy of late, mostly with
discussions of political philosophy. Can we move those discussions somewhere
else?
Most of us on this list want free crypto. Loudly proclaiming that you do,
too, isn't particularly new or useful. And while we have different reasons
for feeling that way, ranging from libertarian anarchism to ACLU-type
liberalism to pragmatic human rights concerns, those distinctions are not the
topic of this list. (It doesn't help that most of the arguments I've seen,
on all variants of all of these, have been quite naive. "There are more things in
heaven and earth, Horatio, / Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.")
Let's save the politics for debates over suitable quantities of ethanol, and
use this list for technical material and the *occasional* factual announcement
about the world around us, such as Reno's recent statement. And if you do
feel the need for (another?) political crypto form, perhaps another list is
in order.
