You're far too kind, Adam.

This fool who sometimes posts as Toto, sometimes as TruthMonger, sometimes
as Human Gus-Peter, sometimes as Admiral Bubba Something, and so on, is
simply set on disrupting the list.

I long ago started deleting his stuff unread, or as soon as I saw it was
from "Colonel Parker" or "A Player to be Named Later," or whatever. The
guy, whomever he is, probably has some real writing skills, but they've
been lost in what I have to presume is a bourbon fog.

His stuff took me far too long to download this morning at 2:30 a.m., and
then more of this shit this morning. All to just have it all deleted.

Please, Toto or Whomever, knock it off.

Timmy is being his censorious self as usual, always ready to yap in support
of blacklisting by e fascist cocksuckers John Gilmore and Declan M, in
favor of C2Net's "moderation experiment", and any other oppression of free
speach.  Up with the SPAM!!!

Toto,

Could you have a word with your nephew Human Gus Peter?  He just sent
1.1 Mb of encrypted warez to cypherpunks list.  I'm not bothered about
the warez, but am bothered about the volume.

If he wants to make warez available could you get him to learn how to
use the eternity service?  Then he could simply post a URL to the
list.

You see the problem is that in the UK, we do not get free local calls.
BT charges 3p (about 6 cents Canadian) per minute in the day for local
calls.  I gzip my mail before downloading, but still that was 818 Kb,
which is 6 minutes worth of email, and so cost me an additional 18p
(36 cents Canadian).

If I had the passphrase the warez was encrypted with I could evaluate
whether the warez was worth 18p to me.  In it's encrypted form it is
worth 0p.
