LD really blew it this time. One has to be very careful when one maintains multiple identities - it is easy to mix them up and reveal one's deception. As we will see: In the following message, LD quotes S.Boxx: =========================================================================== From: IN%"ld231782@longs.lance.colostate.edu" "L. Detweiler" 15-NOV-1993 To: IN%"cypherpunks@toad.com" CC: IN%"ld231782@longs.lance.colostate.edu" Subj: some pseudopool FUN S.Boxx:
<sigh> nobody is interested in preventing pseudospoofing here. the people who have most maneuvered themselves into a position to aid future cyberspace are instead constraining it. that's the point, isn't it? gosh, how could I have been so blind...
=========================================================================== However, that quote was not from S.Boxx. It was from (who else?) LD himself, in this message: =========================================================================== From: IN%"ld231782@longs.lance.colostate.edu" "L. Detweiler" 14-NOV-1993 To: IN%"warlord@MIT.EDU" "Derek Atkins" CC: IN%"ld231782@longs.lance.colostate.edu" "L. Detweiler", IN%"cypherpunks@toad.com" Subj: RE: Key Servers
I wonder if anyone would want to start a PGP key server dedicated only to *real* identities. Obviously, there is no such demand with the current ones.
This defeats the purpose for which the PGP Keyservers were created. The Keyservers were created to give a *SINGLE* place where you could go to request a PGP key for some name (and it doesn't matter whether that name is real or not).
<sigh> nobody is interested in preventing pseudospoofing here. the people who have most maneuvered themselves into a position to aid future cyberspace are instead constraining it. that's the point, isn't it? gosh, how could I have been so blind... =========================================================================== Now, LD wrote that quote himself. How could he forget that? How could he mistakenly attribute it to S.Boxx, unless he is S.Boxx? In this message, LD makes a very valid point: =========================================================================== From: IN%"ld231782@longs.lance.colostate.edu" "L. Detweiler" 14-NOV-1993 To: IN%"cypherpunks@toad.com" CC: IN%"ld231782@longs.lance.colostate.edu" Subj: Soothing Sayings Mr. Barnes, you tried to convince me of the Joy of Pseudospoofing, for which I suggested you were trying to convert me to the Dark Side (actually, I am indebtedly grateful for that beautiful inspiration for my essay). You told me that E.Hughes' lectures on the subject of pseudospoofing were what drew you to it in the first place! But this is buried very deep in my comprehensive archives, from many weeks ago. (I encourage all other cypherpunks to keep very good archives, because some day we will be able to separate all the pseudospoofed identities from real ones, and it will be quite shocking, I assure you. Some prominent cypherpunks are extremely terrified and staunchly opposed to archives, for obvious reasons.) =========================================================================== Yes, LD, good archives certainly do help in catching pseudospoofers. Like you. You have been using S.Boxx to post some of your rants and create a false consensus - exactly what you have argued against so loudly. How hypocritical can you get? Why don't we post this on comp.risks and discredit him and his rants once and for all? Enough of this crap! --- MikeIngle@delphi.com
