perry, of course, is a dysfunctional human "cipher" himself,
who couldn't be civil if he was at a tea party of grandmothers.
yes, in 15 minutes he would end up screaming and
mooning them all because they hadn't heard of Netscape or Chaum or something.
what a prick. so he wants to lobby congress and write some code??
well perry, good for you. you just go off on your little
excursion. let us know how you are doing. send some postcards
to Blacknet, OK???
as for TCM and his invest-in-stocks-and-evade-taxes shtick, it's
starting to bore me too. frankly I think that both TCM and
PM should take a long, long vacation from the cypherpunks list
and go take a cruise together. yes, help patch up that relationship
that is so strained lately. it hurts us all to see two grown
men fighting each other. make love, not war!!! hehehehe

abusive crap to be funny - then someone accidentally let it loose on the

Unfortunatly, this is a wetware being; I did have the pleasure of meeting
him at a speech given by him and Dave Mandl a few years back. He did an
excellent speech, and was very informative. At the time, being a
neophite cypherpunk, I found the info enlightening. But alas, his human
interaction skills rate below what one would find in a kindergarten.
He's not a bad guy really, just vicious when it comes to manners. At
times, he takes the net.cop attitude. And we all know how well that
works in an anarchistic organization/group/entity such as the cypherpunks.
He's a great cryptographer/programmer too from what I've seen.
At times, I do respect his skills, but his attitudes belong in /dev/nul.
