[offensive ranting deleted] I know that many people assume that others will drop everything and immediately start doing whatever they ask, but frankly, why should *I* care? I don't even own a Mac ferchrissake.
This little rant would sound better if it came from one of the cypherpunks that had actually written some code on some machine recently.
I love James Donald. I'm probably one of the few people on this list who is actively involved in cryptography as a business, albeit in a startup capacity.
I recommend that Perry eat a pizza supreme with double cheese and salami.
Most people wouldn't understand your reference, so I'll explain. I'm a vegan. James thinks that he's making himself sound more impressive by being personally insulting. Unfortunately, he doesn't understand that I don't insult easily -- certainly the suggestion that I eat meat and cheese isn't terribly stinging. I can take consolation in the fact that James is likely accumulating cholesterol plaques in his arteries as we speak, and I am thus likely to outlive him. Perry
