The Reader need not fear, however, that this small setback will keep the Author from generating HisOrHer UsualQuantity of USDA DisApproved SPAM and flinging it in the general direction of the CypherPunks Disturbed Male LISP, although this, what may indeed be the final chapter of SAHMD, will undoubtedly be sent to the list in thinly-sliced servings, suitable for serving as SnackFood at CypherPunks Physical Meetings, labeled as TruthMonger Caviar.] [Arthur's Right Nut: After having had tens of thousands of dollars worth of computer hardware and software stolen from me by various LEAs, as a result of being so uncouth as to refer to the Government Penis (TM) being inserted into the BungHoles of the Citizenry a 'BIG HAIRY DICK,' I found it rather amusing to have an attendee of Deaf Cons 6.0 (for *some* of the people, who made it to the end of the conference) inform me that he had been following 'The True Story Of The InterNet' manuscripts, and was disappointed in the "erratic quality of the finished product." I replied, with as straight a face as possible, that I, myself, had recently received a SnailMail correspondence from Kevin Mittnick, but had thrown it in the garbage without reading it, since I found the quality of the prison stationary it was written on to be substandard. As well, since it appeared that the BumsRush/NoseFirstIntoThePavement that I received from Plaza Hotel Security was the result of being RattedOut for some ImaginedCrime (TM) by a Deaf Cons 6.0 staff member who somehow felt that I, as a CommonCitizen, was not entitled to provide the same type of falsified evidence against myself as the RCMP are currently manufacturing. I was tempted, upon making my exit to suggest to the staff member that Kevin Mittnick (a Deaf Cons DemiGod) would be making an appearance later, and should also be RattedOut, in the interest of preventing the attendees from being cast in a bad light by their association with him.] Bottom Line: "It's a Predatorial Universe..." My journey to Deaf Cons 6.0 was actually for the purpose of having a chat with <erewhon@dis.org>, in regard to the interest that the Secret Service seemed to show in my <hee-hee> personal <ha-ha> email correspondence with him over the InterNet. I had actually *gambled* my way to Lost Wages, having had a dream about Castles and such, then going to the DoubleDiamondCasino in Tucson, and turning $20.00 into $100.00, on a quarter slot-mnachine with knights and castles, etc., in order to get travelling money. Once at Deaf Cons 6.0, I found out that the individual I was seeking had short-cropped hair, with an Atom tattoo'd (?) on the back of hisskull. One of the DoorMen/Staff was kind enough to provide me with an Pass, in order to help me locate AtomHead. (My lack of success in doing so might will have been due to my inability to refrain from exercising my sick sense of humor, informing people, "Tell him that I have a warrant for him.") Having had all of my offers to provide anyone interested with a password into the Royal Canadian Mounted Police computer system rebuffed, even having gone so far as to offer disks containing an RCMP BackDoor as prizes at the conference, I decided to change my plans and just give away the SonsOfBitches at random, accompanied with the advice that, since the floppies had my fingerprints all over them, and they contained LjEA WaterMarks identifying them as disks created on my personal computer system, they would make ideal 'Evidence' to be left behind at the scene of "bizarre and meaningless crimes," such as bombing the rubble the former Murrah Federal Building in OKC. My parting words to the BlessedRecipients of my QuestionableGifts was, "Since the RCMP's attempts to set me up are RatherLame (TM), I figure that I ought to do what I can to help them out, since, anything they can do, I can do better." [Note From The Author:Besides using the conference as an opportunity to engage in my continuing, tireless efforts at SelfDegradation, I also took the time to help out one of our fellow CypherPunks, Lucky Green, who was a featured speaker at Deaf Cons 6.0. Realizing that none of the attendees were likely to show much interest in such a boring and arcane subject as SmartCards, I told everyone I encountered that Lucky's lecture had been canceled, and that, in its place, I would be giving a lecture entitled, "How I Broke PGP," although I stressed that I would not be providing any specific details, because if I shared the secrets I learned in my Grade 4 math class with just GodAndEverybody, then EncryptionAsWeKnowIt would suffer a devastating blow from which it might never recover. Although I was given the BumsRush out of the building just as Lucky was taking the stage, I am certain that he probably weathered the catcalls and hurled objects quite well, eventually winning over the angry mob that had gathered.]
