The alleged message mentions far too many Cypherpunk-interest topical news items in one place, and I seriously doubt the NIPC has suddenly adopted Tim's rather recognizable style of parody in its internal documents. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.

"John Wehrung"<jwehrung(a)tidewaterinc.com> and SirCam volunteered to this list the script of an advert *against opening comm monopolies to others*, excerpted below.

But what if the government forced you to surrender your business to your competition, so your competitors could make and sell their products at your company. Would that be fair? Of course not. But local Government is talking about taking one Companies communication network and handing it over to competitors. Its called the Open access plan & its a bad idea that will slow down high speed internet access and will raise prices. Call the Miami-Dade County commission today @ 305/375-5124375-5124 and tell them the Open Access plan is a bad idea that Government Just shouldnt do.

A little harmless youthful anarchy. Wouldn't the permutation be equally likely? "It has even been suggested that T.C. May is a pseudonym for Pynchon" Fess up already! To this and the NIPC e-mail!

Careful, or you'll be W.A.S.T.E.d Oedipa was perfectly sane - it was the people around her who were "interesting".

Declan, Here's a #4 #4 - NIPC is looking for high profile missions to back up up next year's request for a massive appropriations increase and is hoping to stir up the malcontents with incendiary leaks authenticated by a press release about NIPC internal virus troubles. The negative effects of the current report about internal virus infections will more than be offset by the praise when this sophisticated strategy is revealed. :Occam() it and place your bets $20 on #1 to win > There seem to be three explanations. > > 1.
