I decided long ago that I did not want to participate in the Detweiler sage. However now I just can't keep my mouth shut anymore! [flame mode on] Do you fight noise by being noisy yourself?? To me you won't be much better than Detweiler himself by adopting this aproach. You have read postmaster's statement on the Detweiler case, and in my opinion his views must be respected. It is a little strange to observe a group fighting for privacy and anonymity in the electronic community start whining about harassments from anonymous users. We all know that cryptography, anonymity etc are two-edged swords, and we all have argued that the "good" properties more than offset the "bad" ones. Now we have tasted one of the "bad" properties of anonymity on the net -- perhaps a healthy lesson. The Detweiler problem seems to be solving itself. I haven't seen any posts neither to this list or to any of "his" usenet groups lately and postmaster indicates that it is Detweiler's intention to stop the flooding of the net. It is only us other users, now including myself, who keep the memory of Detweiler alive. Let's give it a break.
