I.e., your bashing of Paul Bradley, for example, may or may not concvince me that Paul does not understand cryptography.
However Paul Bradley's own rants, such as the recurrent discussion of "brute force attacks on one-time pads" should convince everyone that Paul Bradley doesn't know anything about cryptography and is unwilling to learn. As a teacher, I'm used to getting a class full of people who don't know much about the subject at the beginning of the semester and learn a great deal about it by the end of the semester. If you've never taught, you can't imagine the feeling of accomplishment and personal satisfaction that comes with it. I get occasional assholes who are unwilling and unable to learn. I've never seen a gang so dense as the "cypherpunks". Not even on Usenet. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
