Mr. Hayes MAY have used a condescending tone but you have exposed your racist roots again. First you embarass yourself with you lack of knowledge, sensitivity and understanding about all things Jewish and now you insult an entire race with the use of the word "Jap".

Futplex makes the news!

We seem to be discovering more and more side effects from the defense of free speech for the unpopular. The Holocausta Nostra is cheering wildly at the opportunity to present the works of Mr. Zundel under a banner reading "Nazi Scum". Zundelsites are being set up by people whose views are so disgusting they probably offend even Mr. Zundel himself. And now our very own "Futplex" will have to live the rest of his life branded as a electronic distributor of "hate literature" by the forces of political correctness at UMASS. It may be time to regroup and take inventory of what we are suposedly trying to accomplish here. -- X-Signature: Mike Duvos X-Signature-File: c:\netcom\mail.sig On a completely different note, which I am appending so as to waste as little bandwidth as possible, Cypherpunks messages to my netcom account stopped dead two days ago, and I am getting no response from either majordomo(a)toad.com or cypherpunks-owner(a)toad.com.

Good question! Something that not enough people are asking. There were like two or three dozen hits. Period. But I think Declan publicized his mirror more widely, and probably got a few more. You can get aggregate hit counts for all files in "/~llurch" through the www-leland.stanford.edu main page (features, I think). I'm not sure I'll be able to get a server log dump because it would just be so huge -- not because of the Zundelumpen, but because of the Windows 95 FAQ in my directory, which got a lot of press in early January. Zundel's main site at webcom.com did not just become popular and overloaded with the press reports. It has always been overloaded because he's a dumbshit who posts 3MB RealAudio files on the main page. - -rich -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMRQWUo3DXUbM57SdAQHUZAQA2C5Bwg2lrpdHoXgs0+H1X3G7ssVO3Yyr 1ZfqSUO/HOrBDqzxh0hSnbt6DdrpfRvC1yO3ObEsV7sr3yQ4MfjOu8KhWptZpLiC NlPveSWDN6/EiDGhueAyflUmSINuHHgZguaJnQDtihIUrz3pIg7dRT2mM4vWZV/m Fk5CxWGbhgg= =PdRm -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

But it's a state school. All you have to do is sue. Since academics are gutless, they aren't that hard to face down. So far, no one's really wanted to face my mouth so they've left me alone once I made it clear that I was a libertarian anarchist nut. I feel sorry for Lewis though and wouldn't want him to do anything he wasn't comfortable with.

Need a "warning" graphic of some kind for CDA
by Robert A. Hayden 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Now that we all have web pages that are naughty and might be seen by little children, I'd like to hve some kind of a graphic that can universally be seen as a "Warning: The following material is unsuitable for children and close-minded twits". (or words to that effect). Anybody with much more graphic design ability than I wanna take a crack at something that can be spread all over the net? It shoudl poke as much fun as possible at the inaness of the CDA, while still being a legitimate effort to warn people that the material is offensive (just in case people start getting yanked off the street on CDA violations). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Comment: PGP Signed with PineSign 2.2 iQCVAwUBMRTStjokqlyVGmCFAQGA3QQA0HOMcmxT+y8NbNtI/ak9Jc1kcmjK5v2l pO17j14IGiz3I+EwXkYMHkCPMup2CyxBZ3YTNkQ4wc8bbtUrYGy/fBSs/yA8Gfy+ TxmGb5uzdLqdhhkJHwgG1CpOkYocX9EN/LUDQ1lB7jDpW5PjNTG1EMkGq1/L3nG5 O3vI3hLrltw= =D/1b -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ____ Robert A.
