I think I should provide some context to what I've previously said. It occurred to me that I should actively attempt a little peace, and who knows maybe even a reconciliation with Professor Rat. Or, at least, offer a mutual 'detente', a word from the 1970's, describing a lessening of that era's tensions during the Cold War. Use a little respect and tolerance, which we should all be able to give. The results, you saw, but at least I tried. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, as they say. No reason to regret the attempt. The Cypherpunks list always had a very good reason to exist. And it can still do that, today, as long as we try.
