"L. Detweiler"
OK, here's an *excellent* opportunity to get some cypherpunk exposure on RISKS. Amazingly, we haven't really been seen there before. I move that T.C. May or some other prominent cypherpunk write a letter representative of group interest and ideas on the subject. But anyone
If someone does write this letter, please don't represent the Cypherpunks list as being entirely composed of libertarians or (in Perry's words) "capitalist anarchists", whatever those might be. It seems counterproductive to me to enter into extended political debates here on the list, so I don't - but it's a mistake to assume that silence, in this case, constitutes agreement or consensus about deeper political issues. I think it'd be more accurate to represent the C-punks list as a group of folks with divergent political viewpoints who agree on the importance of personal privacy and see technology as a potential vehicle for acheiving or maintaining it. -- Greg Broiles greg@goldenbear.com Golden Bear Computer Consulting +1 503 342 7982 Box 12005 Eugene OR 97440 BBS: +1 503 687 7764
