Can anyone tell me whether Ian Goldberg and David Wagner got their $25,000 from Netscape for finding the HUGE security flaws in Netscape's existing product line??

Heh, hey Alice, you know this discussion a short time ago where you claimed that you wouldn't use PGP for signing because it wasn't secure or something, what's with the use of the penet address?

Uhhm, actually, I said that I don't have a secure machine to run PGP on, and that I didn't feel that I should have to travel across town to use a secure machine to ask whether or not Ian Goldberg and or David Wagner got any moola from Netscape or AT&T for helping to make these companies a fortune. Did they get their $25,000, or a scholarship, or a Christmas week or two at the Halekulani in Honolulu?? They helped out these companies, and here it is, less than ten days to Christmas, and what have these companies done?? Nothing ... nothing at all ... but freeload ...

Surely a penet address offers even less protection for your id?

Or have you done something nifty like create the penet address with a nymserver address?

Yep, something like that ... you must be paying attention, my friendly "spoofing" shadow. The Penet address is simply to prevent huge email from being mailed to me. I don't want AT&T or Netscape to mailbomb me for simply writing the truth about them. Penet gives me some protection. I'm not looking to Penet to protect my "identity". All I want Penet to do is provide a way for people to write to me if they want to. Alice de 'nonymous ... <an455120@anon.penet.fi> ...just another one of those... P.S.
