Obese-rvation? I hope you are not assuming that I am obese, just because I am responding to a post originating from 'fatmans.demon.co.uk.' I would hate to become relegated to the upcoming cypherpunks-fatpeople list because of assumptions of this nature. Toto

Corelation
by Toto 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

My database seems to indicate a direct co-relation between the number of postings criticizing moderation and the number of UCE/Spam postings showing up on the list. i.e. When there are a number of postings critizizing Sandy's moderation, then the diversionary UCE/Spam postings increase dramatically. Has anyone actually 'seen' John Gilmore, lately? Since there have been a number of postings indicating that the writer 'used to respect' Gilmore, I am wondering if perhaps this moderation experiment is not actually an attempt by someone to discredit him. Perhaps he is being held hostage somewhere, while the more nefarious elements among us are trying to besmirch his good name by using it to promote willy-nilly censorship and class-elitism. Toto

I have enjoyed many of Jim Bell's posts, and occasionally sent him a note telling him so. Other posts of his leave me with the desire to fire off a missive telling him what a low-down, scum-sucking sack of shit he is. One thing I have gleaned from his posts is that he is an adult. As such, I assume that he is fully capable of living his life according to his own beliefs and standards, and will not be reduced to running to his mother, crying, because of the expressions of my relevant or non-relevant opinions. I have seen no posts from him indicating a desire to be 'saved' from any less-than-applausitory comments on my part, but it seems that others have taken it upon themselves to 'save' him, regardless. I fail to see how any supposedly intelligent members of the CypherPunks list can possibly be content to fall for the line, "Bend over, baby. I'm only going to moderate you 'a little bit'." Toto

I understand that Intel's main problem at this time seem to be to find a keyboard manufacturer that understands that for the device to be effective, the CPU should not be involved in its operation. -- Lucky Green <mailto:shamrock@netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred Make your mark in the history of mathematics.

Dale's hypothesis seems at odds with the linkage of aids and blood transfusion and transmission through needles. Nurses who contract aids through contaminated needles do not, normally, have devastated immune systems. - Igor.

Why do they take antibiotics? Just curious. Also, I haven't heard that antibiotics were bad for immune system, has that been proven? - Igor.
