"Friend,"

I'm sure your intentions are good in forwarding this and other similar
items to the Cypherpunks mailing list, but if you are reading the list, you
should surely know that this item--including both summaries and the
complete article--have already been posted to the Cypherpunks list. Two
days ago, in fact.

If for some reason you are _not_ reading the CP list, or not paying
attention, then you really should not be forwarding stuff to it.

I'm copying the CP list on this to remind folks to "stay on the page" as to
what's already been posted. We are already becoming a kind of "automatic
cc:" for a variety of announcements, spams, and other earthshattering
items.

Friend, 
 
 
Someone writes:

 ing items. 
 
 
Someone may wish to include among these the document "Wel- 
come to the cypherpunks mailing list!" 
 
If so, then before he discards it, here are some excerpts 
from that document: 
 
 ...cypherpunks deals with technical details but slants the 
 discussion toward their social implications. 
 
 ...the debates on this list are about how to best get crypto 
 out there. 
 
 Cypherpunks do not seek to prevent other people from speak- 
 ing about their experiences or their opinions.
 
 Cypherpunks hope that all people desiring privacy will learn 
 how best to defend it. 
 
 
Cordially, 
 
Jim
