Xenon, who shows a surprising depth of introspection in styling hirself after an element which is both gaseous and inert, writes:

I can't take life seriously enough to censor old Larry.

I suggest a short chat with Mr. Dictionary to determine the actual definition of the word "censorship". In the immortal words of Inigo Montoya, "You keep saying that, but I don't think it means what you seem to believe it does."

I can't take the IDEAL of the First Amendment lightly enough to do so either.

OK, I see we can add the First Amendment to the list of subjects on which you are essentially totally ignorant. When you finish with Mr. Dictionary, you might try puzzling out Mr. Bill of Rights. _It_ doesn't say what you apparently think it does, either.

And afterall, he wasn't the one who wrote that "Blacknet" blurb.

Was there a point to this statement? Other than the one athwart your knotty little cranium, I mean. If so, it utterly eludes me. Do you believe that drunk drivers should not be held responsible for their actions because they don't build their own cars?

I find it amusing to see uptight fuck-wads from specialized narrow minded Usenet groups yelling about someone sending something to their precious little group that upset them.

Not nearly as amusing as _I_ find it to see know-nothing children attempting to impress the big kids with their general level of uninformedness.

Abuse away Larry. Show us that we really DO need dumb optical fibers between laptops instead of this tight-assed RFC standardized World Wide Wiretap we call our playground. We need a new net guys.

Please feel entirely free to avoid using the old one while you wait patiently for the new and perfect one to show up. I suggest you avoid posting any further until you have _real_ _encryption_ running in your laptop and _optical_ _fiber_ connecting you to all the places with which you might consider communicating. -- Lefty (lefty@apple.com) C:.M:.C:., D:.O:.D:.
