Unfortunatly, this is a wetware being; I did have the pleasure of meeting him at a speech given by him and Dave Mandl a few years back. He did an excellent speech, and was very informative. At the time, being a neophite cypherpunk, I found the info enlightening. But alas, his human interaction skills rate below what one would find in a kindergarten. He's not a bad guy really, just vicious when it comes to manners. At times, he takes the net.cop attitude. And we all know how well that works in an anarchistic organization/group/entity such as the cypherpunks. He's a great cryptographer/programmer too from what I've seen. At times, I do respect his skills, but his attitudes belong in /dev/nul. =================================================================93======= + ^ + | Ray Arachelian | Amerika: The land of the Freeh. | \-_ _-/ | \|/ |sunder@escape.com| Where day by day, yet another | \ -- / | <--+-->| | Constitutional right vanishes. |6 _\- -/_ 6| /|\ | Just Say | |----\ /---- | + v + | "No" to the NSA!| Jail the censor, not the author!| \/ | =======/---------------------------------------------------------VI------/ / I watched and weeped as the Exon bill passed, knowing that yet / / another freedom vanished before my eyes.
