When I subscribed to this list, I thought it would have decent communication on worthwhile topics. I've come to realize though that 75% of the messages I receive are from people whining like 4 year olds. I am making a huge assumption in saying that most of the people on this list are adults. It is time to start acting like it. Please take my name off of this list.

You might try a filtered version of the list instead. If you like, send
a message to sunder@brainlink.com with the subject "fcpunx help" for info
on this. :)

We would all do well to remember Sturgen's Rule. For those of
you who do not know the story, Theodore Sturgen(sp?) is/was a
noted science fiction writer. At a science fiction convention
some years back he began a speech by saying, "Ninty percent of
all science fiction is crap!"
The audience was stunned into absolute silence by his blasphemy.
After a pause of several beats, Sturgen quietly added, "Ninty
percent of EVERYTHING is crap."
Cypherpunks should take pride in having a crap content of only
seventy-five percent. Keep up the good work folks.

You're an adult, Dave. You'll have to do that yourself (and no
whining, okay?)

It is time to start acting like it. When I joined this mailing list, it had plenty of technical discussions posted by people knowledgeable in cryptography.
