What a useful post. But look again - can you spot the grammar error? It is underlined. Perry must mean "it's" as in "it is"; not "its" as in "possessive". Naturally, using bandwidth to point out spelling error and grammar mistakes is POINTLESS, and WASTEFUL. Perhaps a future requirement to read this list will be: read and understand Emily Post-News Nettiquette. The height of irony is a non-anonymous post (with a grammar error) with a humorous attempt to criticize an anonymous post (with a spelling error). I'll comment on Steve Bellovin's post: excellent overall and thought provoking. However, he is putting the cart before the horse and worrying to much about future acceptance. Technology is neither good nor evil; progress in crypto-anarchy will grind to halt if the people involved become overly concerned with future acceptance. Would we have the phone system of today if AT&T would have waited for Western Union's blessing? We'd probably have some warped telegraph system instead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To find out more about the anon service, send mail to help@anon.penet.fi.
