Apparently someone has forged a Sternlight posting on sci.crypt and alt.privacy.clipper. If the author can hear me: you should be severely ashamed. I've said before that Sternlight is actually (in a warped way) a *resource* to the net because of his representation of the NSA and `fuzzy-brained public' opinion. Without him, we'd have nothing but all of ourselves in a bland choir. Cypherpunks, maybe we can help track down the culprit. The forgery says `recently, some have called me a dupe'. Perhaps it is an allusion to a recent flame war wherein the counterfeiter participated. Cypherpunks are sneaky, but not sleazy. I look forward to the day when digital signatures and other authentication methods make forged postings like this a strange historical anachronism. ------- Forwarded Message
