Well, I read the post, too, and I thought it was funny! Obviously not meant to be informative. I feel that people such as DD and LEA-mongers are @#$%ing idiots. And in a free forum, I should be able to say so. This is kinda what Cypherpunks stand for, IMHO.
The first rule of most martial arts, as the first rule of combat, is "never underestimate your opponent". However irresponsible I may think Dorothy Denning, Jim Bidzos, or David Sternlight are, I don't underestimate them.
