FYI I'm helping Perry out with Moderator duties. 

I've noticed an upswing on political discussion that are starting to range into security issues and less on Cryptography.
Consider this a gentle reminder that that's not really the charter of this group. I understand how it is impossible to separate the two these days, but let's try to lean more toward the technical rather than political side of things.

Here's a basic reminder from Perry of the other rules of the mailing list for all the new members.

==============

We've got a very large number of participants on this list, and
volume has gone way up at the moment thanks to current
events. To make the experience pleasant for everyone please:

1) Cut down the original you're quoting to only the relevant portions
to minimize the amount of reading the 1600 people who will
be seeing your post will have to do.

2) Do not top post. I've explained why repeatedly.

3) Try to make sure what you are saying is interesting enough and
on topic. Minor asides etc. are not.

The list is moderated for a reason, and if you top post a one liner
followed by a 75 line intact original, be prepared to see a rejection
message.

Tamzen
