Do you know what mailing list he was talking about? Was it the cypherpunks mailing list? If it was, in that listserv archive you shared, the archive for 2007 and 2008 aren't there.

Just get his IP address from his posts/account....
I'm sure there are admins here who have more information on the matter.

Impossible. Satoshi used anonymousspeech.com for hosting Bitcoin.org. He probably used them as a VPN for anonymous browsing as well.

I was not aware of this. I'll start researching the 2007 cypherpunks articles and such. Do you think you could post the source regarding the relation between Satoshi and Cypherpunks?
The Cypherpunks are/were an ethic more than a group, but there was a core of coders that brought the ethic to life. You can browse through the listserv archives going back to 1993 here:

The first Bitcoin transaction was to Hal Finney, cypherpunk extraordinaire:

Thank you for those sources. I will read through the listserv archives a little bit just out of raw interest. Were there any Mailings after May 1st, 2005? It ends there.
Also I looked through that second link you sent. I pulled this quote from the article:
When Satoshi announced Bitcoin on the cryptography mailing list, he got a skeptical reception at best. Cryptographers have seen too many grand schemes by clueless noobs. They tend to have a knee jerk reaction.

Those who know don't say, and those who say don't know?

if someone does not want to be found and they have not committed a crime. leave them alone
You do bring up a good point. Maybe he wants to remain anonymous so badly he hasn't been active here since 2011. Good point indeed. The task of finding such a person is too daunting for me anyways. I'll try to find you instead
Just messing. But you do bring a good point. 
so totalling maybe 100 threads to find satoshi.. how about use one of the others.
how about realise you wont learn any secrets about the coding by finding satoshi.. its open source!!

That is not my goal in the first place. I've pulled up and (misunderstanding [lack of C++ knowledge]) read the Bitcoin source code on the Bitcoin wiki. My goal is to try and find Satoshi. Yes I know others have failed, but who cares. Its for the hell of it really. This thread was mainly to propose that Satoshi may have been in Britain. Also, if he did create the admin account, wouldn't it make sense to host the forums in the country you live in, meaning the time zone default may not mean anything?
evidence found 4 years ago puts him as a 90% chance of being from britain.. .. now what..

he wanted something different to the standard banking system, so what would be left to ask him if he was found.. all the main answers to questions can be found already

I vaguely recall someone doing a study of Satoshi's post times and deciding that eastern US was the most likely time zone in which he lived.
Do you think you might be able to find the source for that?
Don't you think that someone that has the brains and insight to create Bitcoin might also be able to cover his tracks on the net? 
Satoshi and Bitcoin are born from the cypherpunks. It might do you well to research them.
Cypherpunks is certainly an interesting topic, but is not of interest to me at the moment.

maybe Satoshi disappears for some reason. maybe he doesnt want the world knows his true ID.
And here you are, trying to dig him up

Exactly.
I'll look into cypherpunks if I really cannot do anything else with looking into Satoshi
Britain is in GMT/UTC time zone which is the default time zone in this forum IIRC. Maybe they just didn't change their profile
I was not aware of this. I would think it would be standard human behavior to customize voids that we would know how. I'm positive Satoshi knew SOMETHING about his timezone. I changed mine, so either he does live in Britain, or didn't change it at all.

and this is how conspiracies start - half truths being converted to full lies describes as truth!
If you are interested in chasing ghosts, you should spend your time on the cypherpunks newsgroups around 2007
Its likely that you'll find far more hints to ID there than you'll ever do here.

Please, explain how anything above is a half truth or a full lie. I'd like to know. I also happen to be very interested in the identity of Satoshi, as it's remarkable how he posted the worlds best model for a financial system back in 2008, and hasn't been found since.

ask him
Thank you...for your succinct post...7 characters...K
I will eventually, but I'd rather find the threads or emails or something first. I doubt he was just appointed by Satoshi randomly. There must have been a vote. A vote from the original 24 other accounts before him. Maybe sirius appointed him?
