Keywords: Detweiler Yeah, one of his tentacles is posting to Cypherpunks again; unfortunately we haven't really decided how to do a good reputation system yet, so filtering out these sorts of attacks without also trashing newbies and causing other collateral damage isn't easy yet. However, I can report that at the December physical Cypherpunks meeting in the Bay Area, Tim May pointed out that *all* the major tentacles were there - Tim, Eric, John Gilmore, Nick Szabo, and Jamie Dinkelacker. Just for fun, I asked Jamie if I could see his driver's license (it's a "real" California license), and Tim, Eric, and Nick also presented theirs. (John was out of the room doing Cygnus business, but I've known him for 6-7 years.) Either they're all separate people, or Tim/Eric/Dr.Moriarty/Jamie/Medusa hired a bunch of actors and got good fake California ID for them. On the other hand, I suppose this just means that *I'm* one of the tentacles now, but I guess that's just a risk you've got to take in the search for Truth, Justice, and the American Way....
