In fact, there is at least one NSA agent on this list. Whether he/she is on our side or not, who knows? This message, a defense of the NSA, was posted here not long ago. I don't know if anyone else noticed this at the time, but take a look:

We? WE! Do you suppose that was a Freudian slip, or did he mean to say it like that? Whoever he is, he works for the NSA. Did anyone else notice this at the time?

In this context, "we" clearly refers to the Cypherpunks, fighting a "Valiant War" _against_ the NSA. I think you sound like a paranoid loon. -- Lefty [gYon-Pa] (lefty@apple.com) C:.M:.C:., D:.O:.D:.
