I think that this is a completely fabulous idea, an commend John and Sandy for doing this. Let me add my own suggestion. This will fail if flames migrate from cypherpunks-flames to cypherpunks, I would attempt to prohibit threads that only exist in cypherpunks-flames being continued into the moderated list. This'll be hard to do, Sandy, I know, but if you could think of a way to do this, I think that your experiment is more likely to succeed. Phrases like "As I said in the letter that only got sent to cypherpunks-flames" should cause the whole article to be yanked, IMHO. thad -- Thaddeus Beier thad(a)hammerhead.com Visual Effects Supervisor 408) 287-6770 Hammerhead Productions http://www.got.net/people/thad

We have one rule of thumb we live by: "Do one thing. Do it well. Do it better than anyone else. Do it for less." =======> 10 Tips To A Successful Mail-Order Business <======= There are a number of obstacles for beginning entrepreneurs that they may encounter that can "torpedo" their business, almost before they knows it. But the wise entrepreneur can sidestep some of the common pitfalls of operating his/her own business by recognizing and avoiding the following common errors. 1. Figuring that the one "How-To" book, booklet, or report that you read about starting a mail order business told you everything you need to know. You never really stop learning about this business as long as you're in it, and you need to continually seek out new information and advice from those more experienced than you. 2. Planning your entire business around only one product or service. It is best to have several different items to promote; give your customers a choice. And always have something to follow-up an order or inquiry with. It costs too much to obtain the names and addresses of potential customers; to simply try to sell them one item, one time. 3. Spending too much of your advertising money on only one or two untested ads in only one or two untested publications. Start smart... test your ads (2 to 3 concurrent insertions) in a variety of publications that are likely candidates for the product or service you are selling. This means studying many different magazines, newspapers, adsheets, and so on to determine where your ad will best fit in and has the best chance of being seen by readers who will be interested in what you are offering. 4. Believing that advertising only 3 or 4 times will be enough to establish your business and earn your fortune. There is one theory that states that people need to see your ad a minimum of 3 times before it makes an impression on them. Another theory states they must see it 7 times! 5. Failing to adequately "key" your ads so you know which ads in which publications are pulling inquiries or orders for you. Without this knowledge, you'll continue to throw your money away by advertising in totally unsuitable and unresponsive publications. 6. Trying to sell a $10 or more item in a small space or classified ad. Not enough information comes across in a small advertisement; people won't part with this kind of money on the basis of your 40 to 50 words. It is best to ask for inquiries and offer free information. Once you have the customer's name and address, use your full size circulars, brochures, and sales letters to convince your customer of the benefits you are offering. 7. Not keeping adequate records on the customers who do respond to your ads. These people have demonstrated their interest and faith in your company and your product. If they have bought from you once, they may very well buy from you again. Keep track of their names, addresses, date of sale or inquiry, what ad(s) they responded to, item(s) bought from you and amount paid, and then mail your promotional pieces to them periodically. Your customer list can be one of your most valuable business tools. 8. Not using proper postage on your mailing pieces. You should weigh everything you're mailing first class (an inexpensive postage scale cost about $6.00), and then affix the correct stamps. Most people overestimate how heavy their mailing piece is and put two first class stamps on an envelope that only weights one ounce. Wasteful habits at such a basic level in mail order can be the start of financial ruin. 9. Thinking that how your mailing piece looks doesn't matter. It's the content that counts. The content of any circular, program, report, booklet, etc., is of course important, but a poorly laid-out job, badly copied piece which is barely readable does a poor sales job, no matter what it says. The "look" you are presenting matters more than you may realize. 10. Believing that once you have your customer's money, you have done your job. Always respond quickly. Mail out the order or requested information within 48 hours. Take care of any problems or complaints immediately; refund their money if they are dissatisfied with their purchase. Always give your customer more than he expects, and he'll want to do business with you again in future. ********************************************************************** Disclaimer: According to our resources the enclosed information may be of interest to you.

Infowar Digest Volume 02: Number 01

We thank our sponsors: Internet Security Solutions New Dimensions International - Security Training HOMECOM Communications National Computer Security Association OPEN SOURCE SOLUTIONS, Inc. __________________________________________________ Infowar(a)infowar.com is brought to you in the the interest of an open, unclassified exchange of information and ideas as a means for advancement of Information Warfare related issues. Topics of discussion for this list include: Infowar, Electronic Civil Defense, Hacking, Defensive Techniques, Policy, Non-Lethals, Psyops, Chemical Warfare Agents and WMD. As the list expands we will adapt to the needs and desires of our subscribers. This is a MODERATED DIGEST format. __________________________________________________________ Infowar Sunday, January 12, 1997 Volume 02: Number 01 RE: Call for Anecdotes RE: The Media and Information Warfare RE: British PsyOps RE: Futuristic Battlefield RE: IWAR Journal RE: Discussion Forums Open ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To: infowar(a)infowar.com From: Jules Siegel <jsiegel(a)mail.caribe.net.mx> Subject: Call for anecdotes Date: Fri, 5 Jan 1996 17:17:32 -0600 CALL FOR ANECDOTES I need your help. I'm a writer. My work has appeared in Playboy, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Best American Short Stories. You can examine my credentials at http://www.caribe.net.mx/siegel/jsiegel.htm I am currently researching the following article for American Reporter: The End of Privacy When the chief operating officer of a major telephone company can't keep his unlisted telephone number secret, you know the battle for personal privacy is pretty much lost. New York magazine found the address of reclusive novelist Thomas Pynchon through an on-line credit-card checking service in two minutes. Encrypting messages attracts attention and no secret remains secret very long when hackers with the skills of con men trick the unsuspecting into revealing passwords. So what would a world without privacy be like? Maybe it's not all 1984 -- honesty could be another by-product. I wonder if anyone might want to share: [1] Any unusually biting anecdotes that would fit the theme above? [2] Other sources of similar information? [3] Quotable opinions? I'm basically interested in personal opinions and experiences. Example: I received a reply from a writer who had been the subject of a searching expose and came out of it feeling liberated of her secrets. I think that as a practical matter privacy no longer exists, if it ever did. I think it's an illusion created by industrialism. Only hermits had privacy in the past. As we pass into the next phase of social evolution, I believe that our constructs will resemble animism -- that is they will be living or life-like, soft rather than hard, transparent rather than opaque. Today, the cost of maintaining secrets is beginning to outweigh the value. Yet we're still addicted to this illusion. What would a genuinely transparent world be like to those used to living behind masks? I'm also interested in comments on the following: [4] Electronic surveillance In last November's PC Computing, John Dvorak claimed that government intelligence agencies had set up remail services in order to check on people using them. In a private letter I received, a very sane but prudent journalist working for a mainstream newspaper cited fears of e-mail being read by intelligence agencies as a reason for not telling me something he had on his mind. Questions: What do we know about this sort of thing? What do are we doing about it? [5] Spying in the newsroom Earlier this year, The Miami Herald's Jim Hampton came out strongly against the CIA using reporters as spies in foreign country. What about in the United States? I have received information on more than one occasion about journalists on the payroll of intelligence and/or police agencies spying on their colleagues, as well as making trouble for specific targets, and helping squelch certain themes, among other activities. Question: Do publications tolerate this? Cooperate fully? If not, how do they handle these cases when they become aware of them? [6] Blacklisting The existence of black lists was very well documented in the wake of the McCarthy era. I'm sure we have good reason to believe that they still exist. Questions: Do electronic editorial black lists exist? Other fields? How do they work? How does a victim get off a black list? All replies will be fully attributed and I will send a checking copy of the final draft to anyone whose anecdote I use. Many thanks for your interest and cooperation.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Not too long ago, I attempted to post a PGP signed message to a STUMP moderated newsgroup. Even though the moderators approved my post, it never arrived because of sme technical problem with PGP and STUMP.

Basically EVERY system has some kinds of security holes. If noone knows about them.. then it isnt a problem. If someone is exploiting them and using money from the company illegaly (free phone service) .. even though it may only be 5 of you doing it.. it has a LARGE potential to become globally exploited by tons of people. So.. they have to invest time and money to research the hole and fix it. Thats why.
