From: Sue D. Nym "....maybe I should leave. You guys seem a little too paranoid for my tastes." ......................................................... It's not paranoia, it's just that LD is always trying to induce the list members into self-incrimination: he intends to evoke crowd-gathering behavior wherein they will all betray their true nature, true motives, true attitudes. He doesn't believe that they deserve as much credit as they seem to give themselves and wants to reveal to them, by their actual responses, what they would deny in public. He doesn't think that they have all that much respect for privacy, but are only opportunists bent on only their own advantage, rather than supporting the principle of privacy per se (even for their enemies, who could as well use the available methods against them). Everyone always knows what his true aims are, though, and no one ever gives him any slack. Blanc
