Do _not_ mess with those BlackNet folks. You'll wind up face-down

Sounds like something the Nigerians would try. Nevertheless, I think there would be some value to a GrayNet. There's a difference between intelligence gathering and analysis on the one hand, and espionage on the other. Several businesses in the "competitive intelligence" arena operate quite openly. And of course, the major players like to work through proxies. A GrayNet would have the advantage of establishing the true value of closely-held information. Programming is turning into an "electronic sweat-shop" these days -- here's a chance to turn the situation around. Employers will not be able to afford to treat programmers as expendable, if by releasing them, they empower their competitors. The immediate problem is to find a data haven where the information will be secure from seizure. Info workers of the world unite! Your craniums are your capital! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.3a iQCcAgUBLbUDoBL41rmHzZFFAQFvygQ43pXqAMWiGjzsutE8NDKnYXTiN+Z+o8KQ alsXwpRJBKy7KdnwJhE22CJIJqR91a8dXI1CvHdAFRPkbSWkqZJDTuAsanhqd8X6 OsyHwEP3kdWIeBgZht4GTy5kD8rkUIHCewxN7ocsRKg5wAn2MDk5yHqZN69+YNKh 7uCODChhUBxfHgGo5jk2 =uC+4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.3a mQCVAi0lVxMAAAEEPAv9PwNYtn9nH/L72vqMC9b7qY9AMRY28u0PsCg/fqMpfXpG r5R3ceMOw9uQ4FBhk/BIeYXuSsv2Fn08Ft5zelEa+WJUyYy+68D04uqbmn8CBoHO d9Wkh3Amwutev31NV/18jRSG6kgxXGF3VVmES2aMj+BfMfW3XLWdkfeE5W6rEvjW uYfNkUUAB0O0CWFyZ29uIDxAPg== =fJR3 -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
