If and when you can demonstrate why there is a link between, say, factoring and whether John Markoff is profiteering off of the Mitnick case, then this becomes relevant. Until then, GET THE CRAP OFF. (I've been writing people privately for some time. I'm again writing in public because more and more people seem to be getting in to the act.) Perry PS I'm really not interested in reading large chunks of information on John Gilmore's or Tsutomu Shimomura's sex lives anywhere at all, but I'm sure there is SOME mailing list where it is relevant. Why don't you go and post the garbage there, eh?
