-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hi everyone, we have to stop this discussion. I have more than 20 mails in my mailbox, everyone very long, serious, interesting and waiting for response. But I can't answer them all within reasonable time, I also have to do my regular work. Furthermore I have a lot of mails of people asking me to stop this discussion "between two persons". Some don't see that it has anything to do with cryptography. I don't share this oppinion, because if we talk about communication, we also have to talk about the danger and the restriction of communication. The german right-/left-wing as well as the american Mafia are known to use modern computer networks, cryptographical software and methods of system security and access control. We can not close the eyes and just don't care about what is done with the tools we are contructing. Meanwhile I can somehow understand that there has to be any form of export restriction if people constructing such tools have so many problems with thinking about possible forms of bad use of their tools. And again I got confirmed what we find so often in so many cases: People love to talk and form a judgement of Germany and don't even really know what they are talking about. This is a never-ending problem of Germany. In this special case of Naziism you should be aware that they found not only germany nazi computer networks. They found this network to be the international connection to other country's nazis, especially Austria, Great Britain and USA. Two of the german politicians asked to forbid private mailbox systems and even modems. Of course this is stupid, but perhaps your politicians get the same idea. When I read the clipper proposals I think they already had such an idea.
