Oh for pity's sake.

I am really sick of reading this libertarian crap on a mailing list that 
is supposed to be about the future.

Do me a favor and form a separate 
extropy-for-future-libertarian-fantasies mailing list, or else make it 
clear, up front, that this list is NOT designed for a broad cross 
section of people who are passionate about the future, but will ONLY 
welcome people who want to get to the future because they think it will 
bring them some kind of fantasy libertarian paradise.
