It sounds like you've out grown the designation of punk. Punk: 1. worthless or unimportant person. 2. a petty hoodlum -adj, 3. poor in quality. You are hereby promoted. You are now a cypher-corporal in the elite crypto army. God Speed my boy. We'll keep a candle lite for you son if you someday choose to return to the great un-washed masses. Chow-baby, Rocky J.

(snip) I have to agree. One of the most impressive things I have seen as a modern "movement" (yes I realize cpunks are not an organized movement, relax) was the massive public relations job done by several core cpunks around the 1993 Clipper proposal. People with largely divergent opinions found public ground in their opposition to Clipper. Lets do that again. One thing that will help is spreading the use of filtering. Those interested in learning how to filter should be able to ask any of us and we should all respond ASAP. The Noise is horrible in here, but I only hear it in my trash folder. [BTW, Tim, thanks for being willing to withstand the crap you go through. You, and others on this list, have consistantly challenged and changed my assumptions about society, law and privacy. I dont always agree with you. But I am glad you are here.] Matt Miszewski > "The government announcement is disastrous," said Jim Bidzos,.."We warned IBM > that the National Security Agency would try to twist their technology." > [NYT, 1996-10-02] > We got computers, we're tapping phone lines, I know that that ain't allowed. > ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- > Timothy C.
