3.5.1 Contrary to what people sometimes claim, there is no ruling
clique of Cypherpunks. Anybody is free to do nearly anything,
just not free to commit others to course of action, or claim
to speak for the "Cypherpunks" as a group (and this last
point is unenforceable except through reputation and social
repercussions).
3.6.3 "Why isn't the list moderated?"
...hardly consistent with many of our anarchist leanings, is
it?
- "No, please, let's not become a 'moderated' newsgroup. This
would be the end of freedom!

Is this why T.C. May hasn't posted in quite a while?
