NODE 3dfdf797[SUGGESTION] signal/noise ratio

In the interest of those who wish a significant increase in the
signal/noise ratio I make a proposal. Significant crypto related
posts could be prefaced with [CRYPTO] on the subject line on a
strictly volunteer basis, that way those desiring a more topical
list could have one simply by setting the appropriate filter.
Items crypto related but missing the [CRYPTO] header could be
reposted by well meaning souls.
Other appropriate headers could of course be used.

Sounds like a good idea, but what do you define as "significant crypto"?
Also, what's to stop the anonymous idiot and several other well-known
list.idiots from doing the same?
