: I, and I'm sure Duncan, would be more than happy to discuss the subject : with anyone on the list who is interested. Let's do it offline, though, : unless there is a strong crypto tie-in. Sandy, I'd love to take part in a list for discussing practical ways of assuring privacy. I've been doing it myself for years. How about asking Robert Hayden to start up a specific mailing list for it? (Some name like 'obfusc', for obfuscating database entries etc...?) - description: 'discussions of practical real-life ways of improving personal privacy.' Also, you tend to mention things in dribs and drabs... in fact, didn't you do a sort of mini privacy-101 some years ago by posting little snippets of advice in your .sig file every post? Do you have any collected files with _lots_ of this stuff in it already that we could read? G PS Robert, did you say you could run anonymous mailing lists or was that someone else? This might be a good list to kick off as an anon list, just on principle...
