While I'm not trying to offend anyone in particular, I think this
attitude hurts cypherpunks more than it helps us. I called Phil
Mulivor this morning and had a long chat with him. He seems very
knowledgeable about the intrinsic value of digital communications
mediums, especially the Internet.
Speaking your mind in a public fashion can sometimes help progress,
Dave.
Get involved.
