Several fellow newbies have written me asking to share the sources I received re: where to get the uncorrupted Cypherpunk FAQ (Cyphernomicon). You can get it uncompressed-- along with a lot of other cool stuff, like the Applied Crypto book--at Pat Farrell's Web Site (thanks, Pat!) http://www.isse.gmu.edu/~pfarrell/crypto.html However, when I tried to summon up this 1.2 MB tome with Netscape, my computer choked. Changing the cache settings didn't seem to help, so I wound up downloading it via FTP from ftp.netcom.com /pub/tc/tcmay where you can also get your hands on the shorter MFAQ (Most Frequently Asked Questions). Hope this helps. I'm on an info-diet, Cypherpunk Lite, so if you want to respond to this message, please be sure to "cc" me directly. Cassiel
