Dear Aimee,
If you're serious about asking for advice or insight, I'd self-censor the snide comments.
This group doesn't like pointy questions? To the contrary, it thrives on them.
-Declan
Declan, I appreciate your bringing this matter to my attention. My sincere apologies to both you, the cypherpunk community and subscribers. My comments were tongue-in-cheek, a friendly remark regarding Choate's stealth-linkage, and his remarks toward women's undergarments, which I found humorous. My comment in regard to "pointy questions" was an attempt to give any respondents a wide berth in their replies, in recognition of the fact I could be asking the wrong questions, and was receptive of any insight. It was also a reference the number of mysterious queries that flow across the list. My reference to Gentlemen was also not meant disrespectfully, but as a subtle query. Nevertheless, I came across as abrasive and offended members of this forum. _Ladies_ & Gentlemen, you have my apologies for both my breach of decorum and disrespect. Such was certainly not my intention. I stand firmly reprimanded for my hasteful correspondence: [SUBJ: CRYPTO McCARTHYISM...THOUGHTS, GENTLEMEN?] You all have my admiration and respect, which is why I posed my questions to this distinguished group. (I am preparing to debate these issues in a private and hostile forum against experienced opposition. With a few notable exceptions, like Declan, certain viewpoints and experiences are under-represented in traditional source banks.) Excuse my long-windedness. I am trying to convey my intent and sincerity, and make a public, searchable record of my disrepute, my Declan-bitchslap and my apology; not to make excuses for my inappropriate, and inexcusable behavior.
