How many other people on this mailing list bought a copy of the Cryptome archive, saw the logs, and kept their mouths shut because they knew damned well that they'd be causing the exact same shitstorm (with the same lack of anything being done about it) if they said anything?
That doesn't make it right, Doc. At least one copy of the archives containing the logs has been seeded for over a year (that we are aware of.) If you saw the access logs, wouldn't you privately contact John to ask if they should be in there? That's what Mike did. Because there is a larger question of whether they could have been used to forge a slide, it became a more complex matter. When John ignored him and then attacked him and accused him of faking the data, he came here. At that point, what else could he really do? John says the log files have now been removed from the archive. If Mike had remained quiet, as you seem to be suggesting, they'd still be in there. I don't want to reignite the shitstorm, which is one reason why I've been quiet - and I'm very sad to see Cathal leave the list over it (I hope Eugen doesn't smack him for directing the noise his way ;) but this whole thing has been just too strange. -Shelley
