Is this stuff collected and published by LD himself, of is someone just fronting it? The tone of the prose seems a little weird, but I wasn't on c'punks during his heyday, so I can't tell. It seems a little too self-effacing at times for the style of a net.loon.
LD isn't a loon, in my opinion. He has a strongly-held but consistent opinion on matters of computer privacy. His "loon" reputation (and election, IIRC) stems from back in the days when he was making his points by performance art and example, rather than by reasoned argumentation and exposition. People looking at the performance art and taking it at face value have been confused by the underlying message and annoyed by the medium -- not everyone appreciates a cyber-Mapplethorpe.
