Is it a good idea to include a line > such as "Posting the article so that it may be archived." > either at the top or bottom of the reposts? An excellent idea! Also reposting their garbage from bofh.* to news.* and alt.flame. :-) I'd suggest: 1. "Reposting the article so it can be archived" on top; 2. Slight alterations of the text (introducing spelling errors etc) 3. A disparaging remark at the bottom ("what a maroon", "get a clue", etc) This can be done better by a computer program than by a human being... --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps

The GCHQ spook heading the EU's group on crypto policy admits that law enforcement demand for key escrow is just a cover for foreign intelligence: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~daw/GCHQ/ There's also a lengthy description of E-mail security for Her Majesty's Government.

43 Public Comments
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

We've completed conversion of the 43 public comments on encryption tranfers at BXA from PDF to HTML: http://jya.com/bxapctoc.htm The TOC links to each in a separate file. Instructive reading. Microsoft and a few others punch hard, claiming betrayal by the Admin for not consulting industry as promised and rushing out the Interim Rule. Nearly all say stronger crypto is a must to compete globally. Yep, a few brown-nose the bosses; guess who.

Why don't you dig a hole, crawl in, and pull the dirt in over you. Then not only would you not be unhappy any more, every one else would be happy too.
