A few brief comments if I may:
To Mormons:
First, Mormonism has nothing to do with cryptography & therefore, has
no place on this list.
Second, CP is not what I would consider to be an appropriate atmosphere
for proselytizing.
To Non-Mormons:
First, Mormonism (or any other religion for that matter) has nothing to
do with cryptography & hence has no place on this list. Let's stick to
the subject, please.
Last, but not least, I think this list has some great material and offers
tremendous food for thought. However, I for one would get a lot more out
of this list if the Signal to Noise ratio were a little better. Personally,
I find that the petty personal attacks and profanity detract from the subject
at hand and tend to reduce the author's credibility.
Food for thought.
Peace.
Best Regards,
Frank

Hear, hear. The whole flame war was started singelhandedly by Timmy May who
posted some flame bait/personal attacks, as he had done many times before.

Hear, hear. Timmy May has no credibility. Just ignore everything he says,
since none of it has anything to do with cryptography.
