Please don't misunderstand...I'm not _approving_ of snake oil, just suggesting that maybe the list shouldn't go into paroxysms every time someone reveals their Captain Midnight Decoder Ring crypto system.
Right. it's a tough call though. Suppose the list didn't go into paroxysms and someone lost big by using snake oil. Then our friends at FV will say "oh look at this crypto which lost people money". -- and we did nothing to prevent that opportunity. I'm not saying that paroxysms are -good-, just that one should be wary of the consequences of what may happen if someone loses big to snake oil. -- Sameer Parekh Voice: 510-601-9777x3 Community ConneXion, Inc.
