I already have a list for political discussion, and it works quite
well. I must admit that it is moderated, but I get consistantly
positive feedback on the moderation quality. CodherPlunks is for
technical cryptography. The new list will be (more or less) chartered
the way CodherPlunks is, only with moderation to enforce the charter.

Possibly, but on the other hand, for many of us, having high S/N
ratios is critical. Thats one reason I abandoned Cypherpunks. I now
read CodherPlunks and my own list, Cryptography. Some people on
Cryptography have complained about too much technical content, some
about not enough -- perhaps the only complaint I've gotten on it. I'll
be killing two birds with one stone to split cryptography into
crypto-politics and crypto-tech or whatever I decide to name them.
