Sex, Terrorism and the NET

I know there are some here who think Cypherpunks should cooperate with law
enforcment and do "reach outs" to such folks...this was a theme at some
past CFP Conferences, for example. 

I think most cops will use anyone they can. Meanwhile, this is what
they're doing.

Entrapment, infiltration, participation in chat rooms and news groups, and
all the usual Red Squad stuff.

Good points.  How many of those who receive cpunx email are LEA?  10%?  15?
20?  Let's all sneak out and see how long they keep the lights off before
figuring out the party's empty!
