Add Choate to the list of dimbulbs who think calling me "Timmy" (or Timy) is some kind of witty insult. On this list, Detweiler and Vulis seem to favor this usage. Next he'll be putting out ASCII art Jeez, and I don't even recall insulting Choate. Perhaps he got his nose out of joint when I challenged his "all snipers use .223" piece of misinformation. Back in my killfile he goes. Incredible that he is even connected with one of the Cypherpunks distribution points. BTW, nowhere in my piece did I refer to myself as a "scientist." I spoke of Wiles, and then of Gauss, Fermat, and Darwin. --Tim May The Feds have shown their hand: they want a ban on domestic cryptography ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
