-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Five or ten years ago, when the Feds were still pretending to be in control of crypto, crypto enthusiasts were still a threat - these days you can pick up VPN boxes at the grocery store, and if they still care about us, they're more likely to be interested in content and the identities of active posters than in the identity of lurkers. They can observe a lot just by looking, or they can announce a sale on tinfoil hats and see who responds, or ask a Stupid Newbie Question and see who flames them, or forge a message about Guns from a Usual Suspect and see who claims that theirs is bigger, or post about something tangential like how to stop spam (which has pretty much replaced libertarianism and censorship as the all-consuming discussion topic on the net.) Viruses and Web Bugs are less likely to be useful for detecting Cypherpunks (or Mac users, or Linux users) than for detecting the general public - to some extent we may be smarter about that, or at least grumpier about HTML mail, plus some of the cpunks nodes filter out that sort of thing. But perhaps they're exploiting that stack overflow bug in PGP 2.6.2 instead. <<attachment GoodTimes.txt was deleted by RoboVirusBlocker>> <<attachment echelon.scr was deleted by RoboVirusBlocker>> ----END PGP SIGNED MESSAGE---- ----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE BLOCK----- LKJSHFVDJHDSKL5REWAJKLHFVJDSHVHDSKLJFHLKGJVHJHSDAFLHKJSADHFLKSAJDHR IOUVIUASDFKLDSAFHLKJHYCLSACHADJKSDHLFCKJSDHCLKJSHLCJKHSDLKFJHSADFHF FHVLJKHDSLKFJHWQLKJFHLKSJHDVSDAJKFHVJKLDHFVJKLHSVHHJKL3245324VCSCSS -----END PGP SIGNATURE BLOCK------
