I have a few more words on this topic at this juncture. Tim was calling for an examination of the issue; he was not, to my reading, recommending one course of action or another. Possibly Tim's pancritically rationalist sensibilities have offended some. To them I say "Cypherpunk is not a religion." If you cannot question your own beliefs, you are acting in a predominantly ideological mode. We need no zealots here. Please, everyone, have a bit of calm purpose and broad-mindedness. Reference is not advocacy. One of the great and lasting advantages of language over the visual is the ability to say "no," "might," "ought," "can," "may": the plethora of negations and conditions. This mailing list is not a TV channel; do not treat it as one. I specifically request those of you who engaged the keyboard without understanding this basic point please to reread Tim's article and to alter and/or to retract you hasty words as appropriate. I leave this entirely as an exercise to the reader. Eric
