[Cryptography] ADMIN: Linguistic edict from your list administrator...

[Perry E. Metzger]

Dear Subscribers;

The use of the term "crypto" to refer to blockchain based currencies
is henceforth permanently banned from this list. The list is about
cryptography, and the word refers to cryptography, not blockchain
currencies, at least around here.

Messages that use the term "crypto" to refer to currencies will not be
forwarded by the moderators. You may or may not get a rejection
notification, depending on the arbitrary and capricious whim of the
person on duty.

If you want to discuss cryptographic currencies, do so using a term
that doesn't irritate and annoy people.

Sometimes we'll make mistakes as this will be manually enforced by the
moderators. Do not take any such errors as invitation to perpetuate
the odious neologism in further messages. Feel free to let us know if
we miss something as well.

Perry
