Folks, I'm the guy who authored an upcoming piece about Bernstein's law suit with the state department for WIRED. WIRED loves the piece but, in the style of popular mags, wants more personal stuff on Bernstein, who is super articulate about the science and law of crypto but super shy about his heroic self. (Guy wouldn't even disclose his age! Had to threaten to throw myself in front of a bus to get him to tell me he's from Long Island!) Editor thinks guy comes across as a ghost, not surpisingly. . . One fellow from the list, following up an appeal I made here for Friends of Bernstein to call me and tell me about the litigant's best qualities, I'd appreciate greatly hearing from again. He called when I'd pretty much passed deadline for manuscript delivery. I'm calling Dan again, but after one trip to Delphi, I dunno if the responses from the Oracle will be any more forthcoming. Thanks and regards to all, Peter Cassidy
