That's a very insightful obeservation. "Cypher punks" are not opposed to the system. They don't want to change the existing social order. They want to join the upper class and enjoy its privileges (such as privacy and anonymity). They don't want to extend these privileges to the "hoi polloi" (unwashed masses). Jim Bell is a boor, but he had some very interesting ideas that upset the "cypher punk" crowd because he advocates dismantling the system they hope to join one day. This reminds me of a U.S. populist politician from the 1930's whose name I forgot, who advocated expropriating individual wealth above $5M. Why did his disenfranchised supporters want to leave the rich with $5M? Because each one hoped one day to have the $5M. Here's the $64K question: if you were approached by a LEA and offered a huge consulting fee to help break a code to obtain evidence in a criminal case, would you do it? I suspect most "cypher punks" would agree both for the money and for the glory, but no one would ask them because very few people on this list can break codes. :-) [No I would not, irrespective of the fee and the nature of the case.] --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps

_________________________________________________________________ OVERVIEW OF HIV/AIDS _________________________________________________________________ Some important facts about the evidence that HIV causes AIDS are: * Tests for HIV antibody in persons with AIDS show that they are infected with the virus. * HIV has been isolated from persons with AIDS and grown in pure culture. * Studies of blood transfusion recipients before 1985 documented the transmission of HIV to previously uninfected persons who subsequently developed AIDS. Before the discovery of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS, epidemiologic studies of AIDS patients' sex partners and AIDS cases occurring in blood transfusion recipients before 1985 clearly showed that the underlying cause of AIDS was an infectious agent. Infection with HIV has been the only common factor shared by persons with AIDS throughout the world, including homosexual men, transfusion recipients, persons with hemophilia, sex partners of infected persons, children born to infected women, and health care workers who were infected with HIV while on the job, mainly by being stuck with a needle used on an HIV-infected patient. Although we know that HIV is the cause of AIDS, much remains to be known about exactly how HIV causes the immune system to break down. Scientists are constantly discovering more information about HIV and AIDS. These discoveries help people learn how to stop transmission of the virus and help people infected with HIV to live longer, healthier lives. One important question to answer is why some people exposed to HIV become infected and others do not. Scientists believe it is most likely because of how infectious the other person is and how they are exposed. For example, more than 90 percent of persons who were exposed through an HIV-infected unit of blood became infected. So we know that blood-to-blood contact is a very efficient way that HIV is spread. On the other hand, many health care workers are splashed with blood or bloody body fluids and this type of exposure has caused very few occurrences of HIV infection. Researchers know how HIV is spread and the ways that people can help protect themselves from being exposed to HIV. If you have questions about HIV infection and AIDS, please call the CDC National AIDS Hotline at the tollfree number, 1-800-342-2437. If you wish to write to CDC regarding this subject, please write to the CDC National AIDS Clearinghouse, Post Office Box 6003, Rockville, Maryland, 20849-6003. _________________________________________________________________ Back to HIV/AIDS Information Return to HIV/AIDS Information Back to DHAP home page GO BACK TO DHAP HOME PAGE (with graphics) (text only) _________________________________________________________________ Last Updated: June 13, 1996 Updated By: Technical Information Activity email: hivmail(a)cidhiv1.em.cdc.gov

Also you seem to need Win PGP shell of some sort so that you won't have to type those commands, i memorised my commands on the 3rd day of usage so no big deal about shells. And then you cat'n'paste the code into your e-mail. In some cases you can set it up as a spell checker ;) Later.

Then do sector by sector compare and see where the beast is hiding at :) Leo.
