I presumed he had the non-forgeable IP [extremely hard to forge] recorded by his ISP to backup receipt of the email from an appropriate .gov address. Politech will do for me from now on, anything really important will be echoed there. ---- Tim didn't post for a couple weeks. When he was back, it was a new Tim. One who: o said the FBI wasn't malevolent in the Weaver case o acted like a wimp regarding saying Adobe would suffer recruiting problems despite having extensively posted "needs killing" before [ Adobe will be suffering for a long time to come. (Note to our FBI monitors: This is NOT a threat against Adobe. Note to Cypherpunks: With feebs like the Feebs out there, one can never assume that ordinary figures of speech will be understood.) ] o posted an elaborate "Agent Provocateur" lie regarding receipt of NIPC traffic I can handle all the Choate crap. I can't handle a cypherpunks list without the real Tim May. Let Dmitry rot in jail with a lightbulb on 24/7, I no longer care. I'm unsubscriving, don't let the door hit me in the ass and all that. Enjoy your Choate, y'all, that's all that's left.
