Hello, all! I assume all of you saw the message about 'cypherpunk mindfucking' today. It appears to have come from an anonymous mail system (unless S. Boxx is the name of the sender- but then, that name sounds a lot like the S-box used in the DES encryption scheme. Call me paranoid, or give me a point for catching an inside joke.) That said, it seems that the point of the message is that there is a lot of smoke coming from people who use aliases or anonymous remailer services to post to the cypherpunks list. Does this posting contribute to that problem, or have I missed something?

i've been monitoring the list for some time.

something needs to be done about the fucking perversions. we are being mindfucked by traitors.

thanks to everyone who has sent me mail. keep it coming. i intend to get to the ugly bottom of this if i have to. there is a putrid rotten stench here, i pray to GOD that others will finally smell it. i'm getting closer. i'm breaking it _wide_ open. the pretenders and traitors will be shot. the Cause has been stalled. the Cause will conquer. the Cause will live on.

What the hell ?!? I've either missed something significant (and would appreciate enlightenment) or this is a candidate for 'strangest post of the year'. If 'S. Boxx' really exists and is the author of this posting, I apologize- if not, then come out from behind your damn remailer and quit contributing to the problem. As for monitoring the list for traitors, go ahead- I post under my own name, and I don't give a shit what you do with the text. If I was concerned about lurkers building 'traitor files', I'd encrypt my messages and happily watch you choke on them. ........................................................................
