We would all do well to remember Sturgen's Rule. For those of you who do not know the story, Theodore Sturgen(sp?) is/was a noted science fiction writer. At a science fiction convention some years back he began a speech by saying, "Ninty percent of all science fiction is crap!" The audience was stunned into absolute silence by his blasphemy. After a pause of several beats, Sturgen quietly added, "Ninty percent of EVERYTHING is crap." Cypherpunks should take pride in having a crap content of only seventy-five percent. Keep up the good work folks.
Please take my name off of this list.
You're an adult, Dave. You'll have to do that yourself (and no whining, okay?) S a n d y ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
