Hey, the jokes from Anonymous(ses) and Dmitri M. Vulis are the
only reason I _read_ cpunks anymore! Oh yeah-- and that
hilarious spoof about PGP, Inc. putting GAK-friendly features
into their product. It's so funny that people fall for that
old "PGP is in with the government" gag every time it comes
around.
Also, I'm looking for a job, I think. Or else a good
university to go to.
But mostly I'm just reading the hilarious Anonymous posts and
spoofs.
Regards,
Zooko

Yeah! It was a master stroke for PGP to redo their homepage to
reflect the addition of the PGP 5.5 Corporate Fascism product.
I bet they fooled a lot of people...yuk, yuk.

Me too. I think those assholes spamming the list with all of those
crypto discussions should be forcefully unsubscribed.
