Yep, I get people asking me to "prove" that the "Tim May" who uses the got.net ISP is the same "Tim May" as "tcmay@netcom.com," which got associated with my original 1992 key generation. I try to tell them, "I'm that same entity, whoever that is, if I can sign messages with that key." They somehow think the tcmay@netcom.com vs. tcmay@got.net dichotomy is what's really important. I then ignore them. - --Tim May The Feds have shown their hand: they want a ban on domestic cryptography - ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
