I hate to break this to you, but members of this List are heavily concerned with preserving privacy, and sometimes even anonymity. Responding to your survey is as contrary to their nature as vegetarianism is to a tiger.

The bookburning begins...
by F. Marc de Piolenc 20 Nov '01

20 Nov '01

In another life, I sell technical documents, so I monitor bookseller lists. This could interest cypherpunks. Presumably, the reports to be destroyed include everything to do with crypto. If I had the money, I would zip over to the States, visit my favorite depository library (where the librarians know me and are certain to be as disgusted by this as I am) and offer to relieve them of anything that can no longer appear on their shelves. Fill a container with "waste paper and microfilm" and send it over here. Dream on, Marc... Marc de Piolenc Philippines

Yet another cypherpunk idiocy, the idea that the government is scurrying about trying to get information on cryptography out of libraries. A good example of the narrow focus and lack of reasoning on the part of cypherpunks. The government is trying to make it harder to get sensitive information related to infrastructure vulnerabilities. It has no interest in suppressing information on a widely used technology like crypto. You might as well predict that they will pull all the books about the internet off library shelves in order to try to improve network security. And by the way, Marc de Piolenc, what happened to your assignment about using Chaumian credentials to improve air travel security? You were given the favor of pointers to Chaum's papers; you were expected to provide something back in return, quid pro quo. Why don't you work on that instead of inflicting unfounded opinions on the group?
