There's a crackpot by the name of Guy Polis (guy@panix.com, polis_guy@ jpmorgan.com) who posts a crackpot "cryptographic manifesto" and sounds like a bad troll intended to make the folks who promote the use of crypto look like, well, crackpots. Be warned.

Actually, I didn't write that. Just another forgery from "Toto" (I am presuming, from past admissions and from the "wombat.sk.sympatico.ca" origins).
Here are some of the relevant headers. Note also the Organization field.

This is getting tiresome. It may be time to just head up to Ottawa, or wherever, look this guy up, and do something about him. His overly long drunken rants are one thing, and are easily deleted, but impersonating me is straight out of Detweiler's book. Must be something about Cypherpunks that brings out this urge to impersonate.
Toto's drunked rants and the most valuable traffic on this mailing list these days - I read them and usually save them. Tim May's censorship rants make him sonnd like kent Krispin. How do we know that Tim May didn't post the alleged forgery himself and didn't munge the headers to point to Toto?
