In the grand style of the infamous L. Detweiler, here is proof that Timothy C. May is the real culprit behind all this. From: tcmay@netcom.com (Timothy C.

Boxx/etc. posts, both for archival value and because it's stuff I'll want to reread in future years and perhaps use in a book I may write). From: bart@netcom.com (Harry Bartholomew) Message-Id: <199311271042.CAA28624@mail.netcom.com> Subject: The other side of LD Date: Sat, 27 Nov 93 2:42:08 PST I never thought I be caught dead forward an LD post, but here it is since I may be the only 'punk on the NEW-LIST announcements. Here we see the other side. I am beginning to get a funny feeling about all this. Consider: 1. The book published for profit by editing the submissions to rec.humor.funny. 2. The recent "compilation copyright" filed by Keith Peterson on the material contained in the Simtel archive. 3. The default apparent public domain into which all our postings seem to fall. Is LD, the prolific author that he obviously is, merely baiting the creative minds of the cypherpunks to gather material for his forthcoming novel(s)? Bart Tim's penchant for creating boiling cauldrons has "caught" him in this case. He states that he keeps all the messages for archival purposes to create a book at a later time. Notice that another Cypherpunk subscriber from the same site points out that LD is merely baiting the Cypherpunks and the world into situations for book material. Tim obviously urged Harry into sending the second message above. From: tcmay@netcom.com (Timothy C.

This is the final proof. I do not believe that Tim actually creates the text that apparently comes from LD. It is Tim's cat! This is why the link between LD and Tim has not come to light sooner. Tim has conspired with his cat to create this "uproar" for material for his upcoming book. Since Tim and his cat are two seperate entities their message text does not correlate, however the inclusion of a piece of "Detweiler Text" inside of one of Tim's messages proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Tim must somehow be responsible for LD's posts. I submit to you that it is Timothy C. May is actually L. Detweiler and he has fooled us all!
