Yeah, so what? At least he tried and doesn't spend 25%+ of his time
bitching because he doesn't get what he wants...grow up. An occassional
post thats 'off topic' is a hell of a lot more acceptable than the heavy
handed ego-bashing a handfull of you CACL miscreants spout on a regular
basis.

Irrelevant, there is no limit or quota on this list (though individual
node operators are free to impliment one within their own subscription
domain). If the world of crypto, civil liberties, and economics is too
fast and furious for you to stay up with perhaps you should review your
own interests before criticizing others.
If you really, really, really, don't like the way the list is run pony up
your own time, money, and equipment and run your own node and moderate it
however you wish. Or start your own list (like there isn't precidence for
that).

This list is about cryptography, economics, and civil liberties. The vast
majority of my posts are DIRECTLY ON TOPIC. The secondary issue of whether
you got the clue(s) to put them together is another issue entirely. The
reality is that YOUR expection is what is lost in the ozone. In fact,
probably half of your posts are off topic (using your definition) because
they are nothing more than bitches at people about behaviour. Nothing to
do with the topics of this list at all.
I find it interesting that it's the same set of CACL folks who do the
bitching and pushing trying to get the rest of the list members to toe
their party line. Ain't gonna happen junior.
