Who is this Detweiler guy anyway?

As a fairly recent addition to this list, I'm unfamilliar with the history of
cypherpunks.  Can anyone enlighten me?  Thanks.

Is it an indication that LD's persistance has paid off that my first
reaction to the above (probably innocent) query was to egrep through
my archived cypherpunks stuff to see whether LD has ever misspelled
"familiar"?  (He hasn't, as far as I can tell...)

Sigh.

L. Detweiler is an individual concerned with issues of identity on the 
Internet and various ways people use multiple identities to influence
others. He has coined a term, "pseudospoofing," that may be loosely 
defined as "Creating and using multiple fake identities for the purpose 
of misleading others, creating a false sense of 'consensus', and/or 
harassing one's enemies." Detweiler is quite passionate when espousing
his theories, and has precipitated a major uproar on this list in recent
weeks - what you're seeing on the list now is a lot of fallout from his
latest postings. He is also the author of a FAQ on privacy and anonymity,
a document held in high esteem by many. Several list members are convinced
that Detweiler also posts through an anonymous remailer as 'an12070'.

(Fair enough explanation, fellow cypherpunks?)
