What a bunch of hooey.

:
: Kerrey's sudden interest in cryptologic arcana
: likely stems from a recent addition to his staff:
: policy aide Chris McLean.
:
: McLean is hardly a friend of the Net. While in
: former Sen. Jim Exon's (D-Neb.) office, McLean
: drafted the notorious Communications Decency
: Act and went on to prompt Exon to derail
: "Pro-CODE" pro-encryption legislation last fall.
: Then, not long after McLean moved to his current
: job, his new boss stood up on the Senate floor
: and bashed Pro-CODE in favor of the White
: House party line: "The President has put forward
: a plan which in good faith attempts to balance
: our nation's interests in commerce, security, and
: law enforcement."

Kerrey has since introduced a bill that parrots the Clinton administration's
philosophy:

* Linkage of CA's and key recovery:

Why did you include a totally irrelevant newsgroup and post religious drivel
to this technical group? Please don't do that. Most people will simply block
you in the future. I know I will if you do it again.

My apologies, I see what's going on, now. Why do people think that if they
SHOVE religion in your face that you'll magically convert?

I'm thinking that real robots might object to your use of the term.

And now, I should desist... Really....

Who do you think is running the bot? Religious nutcases, that's who!
Do you think that bots make up religious writings and post to Usenet
groups by themselves? Somebody is controlling the robot, someone is
instructing the program, someone wrote the contents of the message and
someone instructed the program to spoof addresses and post multiple
posts to multiple newsgroups! Who do you think did that? Martians?
Religious crackpots, zealots, that's who instructed the bots to do the
posting!
