The point, hardhead, is to keep communications public. Private stuff can be leveraged into a subpoena. Not your own private stuff, somebody else's. Like your CDR rat.
It's flatly weird to me to see which people are getting dragged into this and which ones aren't and which ones aren't *yet*. Something in the back of my brain is going, There's a Pattern Here. And I even think the pattern is based on public communications. And I think the pattern applies in such a way that there are people it requires to get dragged into this, that haven't gotten dragged into it yet. But I can't quite put my finger on what the pattern is. So I've been digging through the cypherpunks archives trying to figure it out. Nothing yet. Just a feeling. And it could be purely subjective at that. It's a weird feeling, like trying to solve a really short vignere cryptogram; not really enough information to use anything but intuition, but something is there, right beneath the surface, that shows a pattern if you can only figure out what the pattern is.
