Mattd, In a recent post to the cypherpunks mailing list, I implied that you were a borderline retarded, imbecilic loser with absolutely nothing of any interest to say. I was wrong. What I meant to say was that I believe you to be a sad, pathetic teenager of limited intelligence who has never quite recovered from the wedgies meted out by your betters. That you eschew the name your parents gave you in favor of the nom de perdant 'mattd' ( (door)matt?) proves well the point. If you somehow manage to gain employment despite the economic downturn and your limited qualifications, you might find your self-respect improved to the point where you can contribute in a positive way to society. You can't live off federal welfare assistance forever. The quick service restaurant industry might well be a field where you can gain the discipline you'll need before approaching cypherpunk list members for a position as an entry-level assistant. Feel free to threaten to have me killed. I haven't had a death threat in months. -Bill 777 --- 777 777 --- 777 "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin
