On Sep 20, 10:28, Dietrich J. Kappe sent the following to the NSA's mail archives: press. || Are we to conclude that the cypherpunks are a bunch of hackers? I think its || time for some cypherpunks spin. How about a logo *and* a press release? The || press release would give contacts (email, phone, etc.) so that someone on || this list would be contacted by journalists when a crypto story breaks. || || If we get enough volunteers, we can fax blanket every newspaper, station, || and network in the world. || I think it's a great idea, personally. I think many journalists would like to find third party opinions about network security and other cryptography issues, but just don't know who to talk to about them. By making it easy for them to find us, we'd be more likely to be consulted for opinions. I'd be willing to serve as a contact for my area (Southeastern Virginia) if anyone wants to start putting together such a list. -- ========================================================================== David J.
