True. As a journalist, I do my best to avoid those conditions. I think of them (probably not an original thought) as entangling alliances. I could easily cobble together a book proposal that would include chapters by cypherpunk types; I'd edit. I've been thinking of writing a book for a while -- even had meetings with publishers in '96 -- but it would take too much time. Editing would be far easier.
