[Anton Chterenlikht]

Dear all,

I've found two huge lists of security researchers and organisations from all over
the world:
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~daw/people/crypto.html
http://www.swcp.com/~mccurley/cryptographers/cryptographers.html

I found it here:
http://www.mctaylor.com/crypto.html

I was wondering if it is a good idea to send an email to each address with a
brief explanation of what's going on, links etc. That's what I was doing before
if I could find something like this. But the amount of people here is really
astonishing, I'll never finish typing.

So, two questions:
1. Is there any ethic rule preventing me from writing to people I do not know?

2. Is there any technique which can make a process of sending hundreds of emails
easier? Probably such programs should already exist.

What do you think?
