I see you write from England are you a nigger or paki or just a white pervert.

Paul and others, I have a proposal: let's not waste our time responding to provocateurs like Charles Platt and associated scum. Charles Platt is a crook, a liar, and a crackpot. He nearly got arrested recently when he showed up drunk at a public lecture in NYC and started shouting obscenities. He used to spam Usenet with ads for his "cryocare" business (freezing dead bodies so they can be revived later). Now that he's been hounded out of sci.cryo by his former business partners and other people whom Platt cheated out of tens of thousands of dollars, this self-proclaimed "journalist" is trying to infest cypherpunks with his lies and spam. Perhaps he hopes to make a few bucks peddling snake oil psudo-crypto software for money launderers, in co-operation with Sameer Parekh. :-) Let's just ignore him. Shunning was pretty effective on the SternFUD. Cowardly sociopaths like Charles Platt feed on attention and are delighted by our outrage. If he doesn't get any, he'll go away and look for another forum to bother, like Declan's censored "anti-censorship" list. We have better things to do (both crypto and not crypto related) than responding to lying scum like Charles Platt. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
