Because the guy who wrote it was let off after that on his jail 
charges, so I'm not going to use anything he made after that if
I don't know why.
I'm not saying that he rolled over or nothin buyt I'm gonna be
paranoyd like he said in the book. I dont suposse he'd mind,
since he said it.
I'm not real smart sometimes but I'nm not a real lamer, either.
(I don't think)

Of course, the mind-flayers of the NSA might have altered every version of
PGP 2.1! Let paranoia be your watchword...

I wouldn't be so quick to rule out the possibility of you being "a real
lamer," if I were you.

My uncle says that sometimes (your last sentence). Maybe he got it from you?
He keeps your messages in a dir called NotADork. This is the one he keeps 
track the size of by bytes. He says that he keeps track of the size of his
Dorks dir by wieghing it on the bathroom scale.
(This is a compliment5 to you.)

I don't. I let _lamer_ be my watchword...
Everyones a lamer, sometimes. A "real lamer" is a lamer all the time.
Cypherpunks have some guys who talk real intelligent with a lot of words but
when you read it all, you can tell that their full-time lamers instead
of just ocassional ones.
Your hardly ever a lamer.

 Phillip Zimmerman never went to jail.  He was just under investigation.
If you are going to be that paranoid about things, you should not use
anything you did not write yourself, afterall, even the cypherpunks list
could be an elaborate government scheme to lull people into using PGP and
similar technologies (JJ).  Go get the source code if you are concerned
about it.
