this Cypherpunks Archive forgery?
As there have been too many messages over too many broken threads etc on this for anyone to digest... What is the current state of this, exactly? 1) Venona/Cryptome has entire month sized time gaps. Have those gaps been proven malicious with evidence? If so, what is it. 2) Jim asserts, and context of some messages in Venona/Cryptome said to show, that Jim and or others seem to have been posting on AP subject during those gaps, somewhere on some fora / remailer. Months long wholesale gaps could just be fuckups. Certainly different than say obvious erasement single scope targeting a topic / author. So it seems you'd want to make a simple call for more independant copies of the various fora with attestations, to help form and answer any real question. This is not to discount any questions that may exist. Only to define the current state of the questions so that people, journos, whoever, might have something precise to try answering next. People should present the current questions and any evidence again, briefly, in one nice new thread or post, so people can pick up and work on. Not over 10+ threads, 50+ posts comprising 100 of pages of longtalk, block quoting, top posting, HTML, sidetalk, rants, etc. You should of course quote in that summary, any 1995 messages from people other than Jim that refer in context to any suspected missing AP messages. It would also be interesting if say 5 people stood up each with a copy from a different remailer, and none had the suspected AP messages in them.
