For many reasons, we have been perusing the archives in order to resolve a number of burning questions. One such question revolves around the the erstwhile entity, Blanc Weber. Despite much heated discussion on the subject, a first-order analysis of the archives clearly shows that we may not be certain on the question of whether or not Blanc wore panties. Applying the principles of forensic psychiatry to her messages gives hints of deeply-rooted insecurities which may ultimately be indicative of her motivation for continually evading all prior queries on this matter. Since such things should, purely for the health of the individual, be treated so that more serious mental illnesses do not arise and fester, we have singled out this one matter for a current infestigation. Additionally, the global nature of the Cypherpunk distributed mail lisp is of such significance that we also feel that this issue should be investigated and resolved for the betterment of the many people, provocateurs, cats, dogs, and tentacles who may have spent many sleepless nights worrying over this question. We also unhesitatingly observe that this investigation and the knowledge gained might have the ancillary benefit of advancing Science, and thus in some small way, enhance the quality of life for the whole of mankind. This message is, therefore, a call to those with information on this important matter to come forward. At this stage, we are interested in first-person anecdotal accounts concerning Blanc and her panties (or lack thereof) which would either add to the store of knowledge presently within the Archives, or which would lend credibility to some of the more outlandish claims concerning underwear which we, as scientists, must presently exclude from our data gathering efforts due to lack of corroboration. Please feel free to send your messages either to the lisp or via private electronic mail. We thank you for your assistance and co-operation in this matter. Sincerely, Steve Thompson, PHd -- "We have a lot of work to do with our allies, but the common values here and the common agenda far outweigh policy differences that we have." -- Condoleezza Rice, National Security Advisor for President G. W. Bush. As quoted in the National Post, 2001/06/12.
