Out of the half-dozen or so lists I frequent, the 'Cypherpunks' is the only list where anyone, and I mean anyone, has said anything about my previous sig, privately or on the list.
I wonder what that says, hmmmmmm......
Is that what all the psychoanalytic babble was about? Hurt feelings? The .sig is an attitudinal antecedent to the Jefferson quote that Tim used to use and is not particularly original. I think the analogy is a bit off too - an analogy that equates the members of the power structure to those of a feudal system like an organized crime syndicate might better fit. Also, note the way that a "logical" discussion of PAPD can be used to classify anyone who disagrees. Next step after we've identified those with deflicted vision - get the reporters to write about internet-using subversives, get a judge to sign the papers, tattoo a number on 'em and take 'em away for reeducation. Fill lots of pages, make it sound as logical as you want too, it's still leukocytoid dogdoo. Longing for the good old days of "concealement grilles" and universal ground straps, Mike
