(40 pages of quoted material mercifully not included here!) I'd like to encourage my colleague Brian Williams and others _not_ to copy 40 pages of stuff that's already been posted here just to add a few comments (or even a _lot_ of comments). One of the problems with a mailing list like ours is that the same articles--be they announcements from the EFF or CPSR, articles from the Wall Street Journal, or whatever--are being posted multiple times. Sometimes because people didn't apparently see that the stuff had _already _ been posted, sometimes because Cypherpunks is on a "junk mail" list of EFF, CPSR, ACLU, etc. mailers, and sometimes (as here with Brian) because folks seem to think the material _needs_ repetition. Thanks for reading this. --Tim May -- .......................................................................... Timothy C.
