Responding to msg by Mark Terka, who is having a bad crypto day: I don't recall seeing too much in the waqy of condemnation of the guy that posted RC4 to this list ..... but as soon as we see something that touches close to home like male/female relationships, the shit hits the fan!!!!! ............................................................ Don't you distinguish between the evil that governments can do, and the evil that female opponents in relationships (of dubious merit) can achieve? Are you proposing that some people make it a policy to cheat on their friends, just as some governments do, and should be dealt with in like manner, automatically and without further consideration? It were a wise & just government, which could not distinguish between the good, the bad, and the all rest. And who appointed you the list censor, anyway? If it makes sense that a cypherpunk could provide instructions for breaking a password, it also makes sense that they could choose to withhold it. After all, if they are smart enough to know how to do this, they should also be capable of making a reasoned decision about when it might be reprehensible - with or without your approval. .. Blanc
