Chimerically Misquoted
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- From: "Jim Sewell" <jims@Central.KeyWest.MPGN.COM> The term Cypherpunks is amorphous, thus subject to use and abuse by the masses. When people like Jeff Davis and Phill Zimmermann say "The cypherpunks are generally opposed to Clipper" it makes us an "organization" which, like it or not, does have representatives and agendas. Unfortunately, perception defines reality. If we I've never said this in any forum, public or private. The only Zimmerman quote on cypherpunks I've ever seen was in the WSJ. He stated he was not a cypherpunk, he wore a suit when he contacted clients. In responding to this, I've opened myself to another spew by Perry, but what the fuck. If one has to take a cheap shot, one is already whipped. And I'm not here to win a popularity contest either. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.3a iQCVAgUBLcXKAl/ScHuGXWgVAQFq9gP+MP1BlrWA5IMO6SMOBsB6UBaIxJQ33Dtv vwc37mUc3YoueFpoQJVDPEfYHzsVThJI1gJNGOV4ELtN/YYaQx9jDpyV+dsQfEtC F7g2Wyx6mlo6AP7E2PYomBgAQD54liHgCUQJPmxEQMW8fdTEoMQsg4GpLvejeQo4 mCh8x0pXGjM= =aJDt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- PGP PUBLIC KEY via finger!

^^^^^^^^^^^ People like was meant to be taken as "High visibility". Saying that people like Joe say "Coke is it" is not a misquote, even if Joe never said the word 'Coke'. No disrespect was meant...

I stand corrected. BTW- "Cypherpunks" has a ring to it the media loves to exploit. Maybe we should consider changing the name of the group to bit.nerd.weenies and avoid public scrutiny ;) Or maybe this really is about crypto-anarchy. The US gov't position on anarchy is someone must speak for the anarchists. That's how they made Red Cloud the spokesperson for the Lakota tribes. The only person Red Cloud had the authority to speak for when he signed the Ft. Laramie treaty of 1868 was Red Cloud, as far as the Lakota Nations were concerned. Just a piece of history. The US gov't insists an anarchy conform to its paradigm of centralized leadership and singular spokesperson. I prefer to think and speak for myself, thank you. -- PGP PUBLIC KEY via finger!
