Ladies and Gentlemen; As I am sure that most of you have noticed, this is a high volume list. I have just spent the last 20 minutes deleting personal attacks and non-crypto related junk from my mail. Normally, this list is of fairly high quality and I enjoy reading the technical and political discussions that appear here. It must be something in the water but lately the nonsense has reached epic proportions. Now I realize that trying to get an independent bunch of people (as the cypherpunks must be) to conform to a minimum standard of behaviour is like herding cats ( I like that image! <g>) but in the interests of your fellow list members, please take the attacks to private E-mail. This might make the volume of crypto-related material managable to the rest of us. Let the flames begin! ( In private E-mail please!) By the way, seasons greetings to everyone!
