I don't understand why this group continues to tolerate these blatently commercial messages from att (and netscape.) (The message is really just an ad for the cryptolib product, as it says). I've also said this b4 but I'll say it again: why would anyone in their right mind trust binary code from att after the clipper fiasco. And why do we tolerate Jeff Weinstein and Mat Blaze calling themselves cypherpunks, when they are so clearly just working us for their corporate interests? I wonder how much they get paid to monitor this list?
