Tim's request for help was an elaborately detailed lie.
I presumed he had the non-forgeable IP [extremely hard
to forge] recorded by his ISP to backup receipt of the
email from an appropriate .gov address.
Politech will do for me from now on, anything really
important will be echoed there.

Tim didn't post for a couple weeks.
When he was back, it was a new Tim.
One who:
o said the FBI wasn't malevolent in the Weaver case
o acted like a wimp regarding saying Adobe would
suffer recruiting problems despite having
extensively posted "needs killing" before

Adobe will be suffering for a long time to come.
(Note to our FBI monitors: This is NOT a
threat against Adobe. Note to Cypherpunks:
With feebs like the Feebs out there, one
can never assume that ordinary figures of
speech will be understood.)

o posted an elaborate "Agent Provocateur" lie
regarding receipt of NIPC traffic
I can handle all the Choate crap.
I can't handle a cypherpunks list without the real Tim May.
Let Dmitry rot in jail with a lightbulb on 24/7, I no longer care.
I'm unsubscriving, don't let the door hit
me in the ass and all that.
Enjoy your Choate, y'all, that's all that's left.
