For what its worth, I was only originally expression an opinion on the few
paragraphs that Mate posted, from some book that I had never heard of, by a
"B. Schneier" [sic] I didn't know who he was talking about at first, and I
was reacting to getting attacked from all sides. Perhaps in the future when
people post quotes from print, they should include a little bit more context,
and perhaps an ISBN number to eliminate confusion.
By the way, why are the cr.yp.to lists so slow lately? Have we finally
reached the limit of processing power on the list server?
