What the hell is the cypherpunks relevance here, anyway? I mean, other than trying to elicit a response from me, which you surely knew would show up, was there any purpose to this? Why are crop circles important to people worrying about cryptography and cryptography policy? What possible linkage could there be?
Why Perry! I see your point! Any phenomenon that elicits articles with titles like "Ciphers in the Crops" could have nothing at all to do with cryptography... I repeat: Go hump a tree. In complaining about supposed "noise," you cause more noise than any other person on this list. Learn to read before you spew, or just learn to shut up!

And I read it and it seemed like crap to me that had no relevance to this mailing list. Neither would discussions of how UFOs are reading our minds and thus a great threat to privacy.
I repeat: Go hump a tree.
Thank you for your witty and sophisticated repartee. Plonk. .pm
