I enjoyed Doug's clear statement on the implications of crypto anarchy on society. It should be compulsory reading for all newbies so that they don't get worried next time Larry Detweiler comes bouncing in raving about EVIL LIES MURDER and pseudospoofing. I'd like to point out, however, that crypto anarchy poses no threat whatsoever to personal or corporate relationships based on physical or other concrete identity (truenames). It just makes these relationships _voluntary_ - no one's _forcing_ you to be anonymous. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rishab Aiyer Ghosh "Clean the air! clean the sky! wash the wind! rishab@dxm.ernet.in take stone from stone and wash them..."
