Looks like we've got a perfect candidate for the first Official Cypherpunks Press Release, folks.
Then sign me off. If something that inane were to go out with the word "cypherpunk" affixed to it, I'd cringe. It could only be worse if it ended with the catchphrase "hack the planet". [ David quoted the "Censored Girl": ]
Hey wait a minute!!!
You HAD stated a patch would be available by Friday. Now we are at early next week.
I watched the stock rise in the face of bad facts. Almost 25% of your stock changed hands yesterday.
So?
For the moment, it seems to me, anyway, you're getting a lot of work done here for dirt cheap. I don't know cypher codes very well, but I know Wall St. codes really well. And THEY ARE BEING VIOLATED! I am glad there is no anonymity on Wall St. We are starting to get into the realm of SEC action. And I could really care much about what happens out on the list.
I won't even dignify this by calling it speculation; it's simply and absolutely wrong. Any "Netscape insiders" are locked out; they couldn't manipulate the stock price if they wanted to, and if they have any brains in their heads at all they're absolutely the last people on earth who'd make a move that stupid. It won't be until January at the very earliest that anyone who holds restricted shares will be allowed to trade. The stock's in all likelihood being bounced back and forth between big technology funds, who don't give a rat's ass about some security bug in the product.
That is the point of this. You can't really fix it. Most of us know it.
Gee, I don't know that.
The lies mount up on the stock price.
Huh? Do you actually have any earthly idea how the market works?
I normally couldn't care less, I'm a Coca-Cola trader. My stock is at an all time high as I write this. It's up over 1200% in 10 years. No one can match it. (even MSFT)
This is much worse than NEW COKE!
Ridiculous.
Soon they will halt your stock trading if this keeps up.
I'll eat my shoe if that happens. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | Nobody's going to listen to you if you just | Mike McNally (m5@tivoli.com) | | stand there and flap your arms like a fish. | Tivoli Systems, Austin TX | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
