This has gone off into political theory. Could we take it to private mail or some such?

Apparently, other people are just as unhappy with your attempts to act as "moderator" of this list. Wake up! Freedom is on the line.

You are annoying me. How much do people want to bet someone kills Jim Bell in the next six months?

Perry

Is this an implied threat? Do you always threaten people who annoy you with death? What does this have to do with crypto, anyway? Take it off-list, Perry...

Ed, Let me make one thing about you perfectly clear.

"Plonk"? What does that mean? Does that mean you're going to hit me with something?

This is the imaginary sound one makes when hitting the killfile. (I wish I could run procmail on this box...) --- Dr. Dimitri Vulis Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps

So, Ed Carp couldn't leave well enough alone. I killfiled him and apparently he had the bad taste to send me some mail about it, and when my robot replied to him informing him that I had no interest in whatever he might have had to say, he seems to have a desperate need to get in the last word by forwarding the message from my robot to the mailing list. Mr. Carp, you've got extremely bad taste. Luckily, I don't have to ever see anything you have to say ever again. Perry "Perry's Mail Filter" writes:

I am sorry, but your message with the Subject:

Re: Reasons in support of crypto-anarchy WAS Re: Why am I (fwd)

was rejected by Perry Metzger's mail filter and will not be read by him. This is likely because Perry decided to place you on his reject list. Perry tends to clean out his filter lists every six months, so you may be able to send him electronic mail again sometime in the future.

If you absolutely need to contact Perry, please use means other than electronic mail, or ask a third party to contact him on your behalf.

You will not receive further copies of this notice.

Why, thank you, Perry! I'll be sure to mention the fact that you think I have bad ... excuse me, "extremely bad taste" in my next performance review. I'm sure it will affect the outcome immeasurably. ;)

I see we're into cannibalism now... "I don't like your chief." "If you don't like him, don't eat him." I envy Perry and wish I had procmail for (DOS) Waffle. One of the many things that I dislike about Americans is their pronounced tendency to express pride in their ignorance; as in, "I've never heard of X's work, and I'm proud of it!". Now, that's tasteless. The crypto relevance of the above remark is that this mailing list appears to have been invaded by non-technical people who don't know anything about cryptography beyond what they may have read in Schneier, who don't write code, and who contribute nothing but childish flames and censorship attempts. --- Dr. Dimitri Vulis Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
