I fished this out of my killfile. Ironically, I had just plonked Toto yesterday because I saw no compelling merit in anything he has posted to cypherpunks since he got here, and given the quantity of his posts, he was starting to waste my attention. However, this morning, as my mail was coming down in Eudora, I saw that he had replied to this month's DCSB announcement, and, frankly, I knew that it had to be something like this.
Why do people feel compelled to 'explain' how they 'chanced' to read items in their 'killfile'? It always seems to me to be for the purpose of insulting someone while keeping egg off of their own face.
When I sent the posting in question to the cryptography groups, I figured that this month's DCSB meeting would not not be especially on topic, even for cypherpunks :-).
Anyway, I apologize to anyone this has offended. Except, of course, for certain, um, dogs.
I didn't consider it particularly off-topic, myself. I was jes' fishin.
