Kudos to Mike Ingle for his diligent record keeping and powers of
observation. As much as I like the computational solution for these
problems, there's no substitute for documenting a mistake that blows
somebody's cover.

The S. Boxx = LD correlation has been obvious for several weeks. In
one notable case, S. Boxx quoted directly from private mail that had
been sent by Eric Hughes to L.D.
When confronted by this, L.D. waffled a bit and then mumbled something
about "of course cooperating with my colleague S. Boxx." For the next
several days he was careful to make casual references to "my
colleague."
As someone else told me, L.D. is a true casualty.
I'm trying to avoid discussing his situation on the List. The whole
matter has probably already driven people off the List, and more folks
may be on the verge. They joined the List to talk about the stuff we
are supposed to be discussing, and instead they get a dozen rants a
day from Detweiler and as many followups flaming him.
ObCrytp Note: Just got the English translation in paperback of the
Japanese-published "Encyclopedic Dictionary of Mathematics," a large
2-volume set with detailed articles on many branches of math. If the
math talked about in crypto is sometimes obscure to you, check this
out. The cost is $59, a real bargain these days.

Who cares?
Use procmail. Put these lines in your .procmailrc:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
^From[ :].*L\..Detweiler
/dev/null
^From[ :].*ld231782@*.lance.colostate.edu
/dev/null
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This helps the signal to noise ratio quite a bit.
ObCrypt: I'm looking for info on designing a distributed encrypted
filesystem. Any pointers?
