Does anybody remember PGP 1.0? Released in the summer of 1991, using the Bass-O-Matic cipher... which was worthless.

This list didn't come into existence until around the same time PGP 2.0 came out. Thus, nobody railed against the weaknesses of PGP like they are railing against NetScape.

Imagine if someone proposed Bass-O-Matic today, however. Well, we have better technologies than SSL today -- IMPLEMENTED AND AVAILABLE -- so they aren't pioneering -- they are going retrograde. Perry
