'punks, There's a crackpot by the name of Guy Polis (guy@panix.com, polis_guy@ jpmorgan.com) who posts a crackpot "cryptographic manifesto" and sounds like a bad troll intended to make the folks who promote the use of crypto look like, well, crackpots. Be warned. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps

Toto's drunked rants and the most valuable traffic on this mailing list
these days - I read them and usually save them. Tim May's censorship
rants make him sonnd like kent Krispin.
How do we know that Tim May didn't post the alleged forgery himself
and didn't munge the headers to point to Toto?

I agree, Toto makes some of the best posts to the list, they are often
just humurous one-liners but he also makes a lot of excellent
observations and is very good at predicting the way things will go, as
far as I`m concerned his posts are up there in quality with those of TCM,
Adam Back, Dr.V, Bill Stwart, William Geiger and the other regular good
posters.

Not his style (as far as I know it), but I agree there is no evidence to the
contrary.

Furthermore, unlike many, he is not hobgoblined by consistency -- he is deep enough and courageous enough to give his own internal contradictions free expression, and is open to a far wider range of opinions than most people. -- Kent Crispin "No reason to get excited", kent@songbird.com the thief he kindly spoke...

Neither did I write the above. This is really getting old. You'd think the guy would at least learn how to forge a message header after all this time. It just goes to show that people ought to pay more attention to the headers on their email. Otherwise, you never know when it's just somebody being an asshole. -rw There's something wrong when I'm marsupial under an increasing number of laws.
