Professor Rat has the same initials as Public Relations, and this is a good reminder: Messages spread publicly about others can severely impact them. Like that time the police were called to bust up drug dealing when the drug-free party was too loud. If PR is sharing messages that could severely harm good hardworking people, it would be appropriate to stop this. I am a peace-loving person and would not consent to pursuing that for some time without confirmation of necessity. I have been targeted myself and know it can be far worse than stories of Hell. In Nonviolent Communication, and norm is placed for violence: force is to be used only to protect people, never to harm out of vengeance. Digital security nowadays is atrocious.

Hi Karl, if you are concerned about 'Professor' Rat's behavior and his miserable IIA, PsyOps or MISA attempts, I can simply create for us a hidden Bitmessage chan, which he can't find and pollute. :-D :-D :-D Regards Stefan On Mon, Oct 25, 2021 at 12:30 PM Karl <gmkarl@gmail.com> wrote:

Sure, when you are subscribed to some chans you had previously in you BM client it may be the case that these chans are no longer active. If in doubt I would do a quick check with chan 'bitmessage' or chan 'general'. Simply delete the messages.dat file and restart your BM client. It then should show you some new messages IMHO, because these both chans are used regularly. Regards Stefan On Mon, Oct 25, 2021 at 5:49 PM Karl <gmkarl@gmail.com> wrote:

Well, it may take a bit of time. Usually for me maybe a couple of seconds because I have used it often and have therefore plenty of peers to chose from. I would wait a bit longer. P.S. I do not use the GitHub version, I use from bitmessage.org Regards Stefan On Mon, Oct 25, 2021 at 6:41 PM Karl <gmkarl@gmail.com> wrote:

* v0.6 dca200a5 [origin/v0.6] remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/v0.6 v0.6 branch has received much subsequent commits than v0.6.1 or 0.6.3.2 which are both well over three years old. It can be built into a binary, or use python to run the py.
