I can't confirm or deny whether my associate is Charles, but I will say that he is not a liar nor a crook. Far from it.

Charles Platt is a liar and a crook. Ask his former business partners in the "Cryocare foundation". Re-read the bullshit that he's been posting to this mailing list. Re-read his sick sexual fantasies on alt.torture.

I vaguely remember a flamewar between you two on cypherpunks a few months back, centering around how you got kicked off of an ISP, so perhaps that explains your animus towards him.

Charles Platt claimed that I was kicked off panix.com for "theft of services". He posted this lie to cypherpunks, to Declan's "fight censorship" mailing list, and several other forums. Platt's claim is an outright lie, like everything else he says. Yes, there used to be an account "vulis@panix.com", used mostly by my wife. We didn't like Panix's service, so we stopped paying for it, and the account was closed in October 96. We fired Panix. If Panix thinks we owe them something for their service, let them speak up. Declan's credibility as a journalist is severely hurt by his association with the proven liar and a crook - Charles Platt. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
