Subject: Re: [Bitcoin-development] bitcoin.org SOPA/PIPA blackout
Precedence: list

Dear bitcoin-development,

One of the original reasons for the creation of this mailing list was =
because the bitcoin.org forum was filled with this type of noise and =
this list was to provide a medium for discussion of development topics.  =
This entire SOPA thing is off topic for this list.  Might as well argue =
about abortion, because you can pay an abortion doctor with bitcoins.. =
maybe.

Many of us subscribe because we're interested in the technical =
discussions.. not internet trolling.  Several people have already =
expressed that they don't care about this, so please discuss it =
somewhere more appropriate for this topic, like the bitcointalk forums.

Thanks,
Laszlo
