[spam][spam] I think it was off the general list topics. As in, not very related to the cryptoanarchist topics we're allegedly here for. However, I didn't think it was spam. Maybe that's just me: SPAM is more or less equivalent, in my mind, to unsolicited commercial email (UCE). We barely get any of that on the cypherpunks list. BTW, the old archives at https://lists.cpunks.org are filled with UCE. > Compared to this? > > Hey does anybody have any tips on learning rust on an airgapped machine? > > Cargo just > > keep frustrating me so much.

I found the discussion about whether rusted iron filings are magnetic to be completely within bounds for the cypherpunks list.

Without trying to speak for anyone but myself: Do as you please with the subject headings. I was merely suggesting that the [spam] tag probably isn't needed, in my view. Trying to disrupt cypherpunks is sort of a cottage industry around here. When disruption is the norm, it makes disruption tougher to do! Greg
