[http://www.freebsd.org] [any SPAM (UCE) e-mail] matt, i'm not saying it is or isn't some right wing extremist, but... to add to your conjecture, i must say that the nsa is at the core of a lot of their conspiracy theories, and it is widely believed amongst such groups that the nsa invented every form of encryption, and that such programs are unsafe for their use. thus, the ultra-paranoid will use one-time-pad and substitution codes instead of computer encryption techniques. i've researched such groups for many years, and you have got to understand the concept i'm conveying. jim -- All opinions expressed are mine, if you | "I will not be pushed, stamped, think otherwise, then go jump into turbid | briefed, debriefed, indexed, or radioactive waters and yell WAHOO !!! | numbered!" - #1, "The Prisoner" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KC5VDJ - HF to 23cm KC5VDJ@NW0I.#NEKS.KS.USA.NOAM kc5vdj@swbell.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IC-706MkII - IC-T81A - HTX-202 - HTX-212 - HTX-404 - KPC3+ - PK-232MBX/DSP To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
