Matthew,
I am now seeing you send the same articles--whether on State Farm GPS
usage, Echelon, whatever--appearing on multiple lists. Why?
You list your "activist mailing list." Isn't this enough?
Most of these news items are readily available from browsers.
I encourage you to rethink this wide spamming of many lists with
nonoriginal material. I appreciate your activism, but it is not
necessary to send news articles to Cypherpunks, Nym, Fight
Censorship, and so on.
