Hello Fellow CypherPunks.... I've never posted to this list before, but I've been reading for quite some time. My name is Dan ieberman, and I am a high-school student in the Seattle area. I got interested in Cryptography, after my sister enrolled in a cryptography seminar at the local University. I have been published in Internet World Magazine, and that is my only professional citation. I don't think my little message will hold much water, but I was under the impression, when I joined this list, that the Cypherpunks list was a place for casual conversation about a common hobby, and maybe a place to make alliances and advancements in the cryptography field. For me, it was a place to learn about cryptology. But when it came to this 'Tentacles' and 'Medusa' stuff, I thought that it was getting a little close to the edge, but not too far. Not death threats? Come on guys! I'm 15 years old, and even I'm beyond death threats about senseless matters. I don't think that any of this should have gotten this far. I think people took Mr. L. Detweiler's posts as anything to be serious about. I dismissed them when I saw them, yet some people took them personally. I think L. Detweiler made that clear in some of his last postings. Something to the effect of: If you would have ignored me, I would have gone away. That's how it should have gone. All that's left now is to forgive and forget. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
