Oh no? Could you please explain how it is that Dave has twice fired his
fellow CryptoRights board members when they have questioned his idea of
official activites of the CryptoRights Foundation? It appears to many
observers that "Dave's will" and "CryptoRight's Mission" are one and the
same.

What Cypherpunks have worked with Dave for any extended period of time and 
not walked away totally frustrated?

Dave has his own point of view -- there is overlap, of course, but
it's not coterminous with the official activities of the CryptoRights
Foundation.

You don't need to worry about this anyway, Peter. It is doubtful that an 
organization such as CryptoRights would hire cypherpunks, given its scope 
of political activities and its association with fascist single world 
governments.

Fuck off.

If you think that a PGP key is good enough, you don't know the threats you
are facing with GAK and the like. If you think a resume should be
required...

He didn't say you needed a resume to get into the meeting;
he said you needed it if you wanted to apply for a job
so they can show the people they're asking for grant money
that they've got a bunch of highly qualified people that
are interested in working on the project.
If it's like most projects, the resume is largely separate from
whether everybody knows whether you write great code quickly,
but it can be a hook to remind them who's interested.

Personally, I like resumes to be in hand-written well-styled HTML :-)

   i sing of Olaf glad and big
   whose warmest heart recoiled at war:
   a conscientious object-or
   
   his wellbelovid colonel (trig
   westpointer most succinctly bred)
   took erring Olaf soon in hand;
   but-though an host of overjoyed
   noncoms (first knocking on the head
   him) do through icy waters roll
   that helplessness which others stroke
   with brushes recently employed
   anent this muddy toiletbowl,
   while kindred intellects evoke
   allegiance per blunt instruments-
   Olaf (being to all intents
   a corpse and wanting any rag
   upon what God unto him gave)
   responds, without getting annoyed
   "I will not kiss your fucking flag"
   
   straightaway the silver bird looked grave
   (departing hurriedly to shave)
   
   but -though all kinds of officers
   (a yearning nation's blueeyed pride)
   their passive prey did kick and curse
   until for wear their clarion
   voices and boots were much the worse,
   and egged the firstclassprivates on
   his rectum wickedly to tease
   by means of skillfully applied
   bayonets roasted hot with heat-
   Olaf (upon what were once knees)
   does almost ceaselessly repeat
   "there is some shit I will not eat"
   
   our president,being of which
   assertions duly notified
   threw the yellowsonofabitch
   into a dungeon,where he died
   
   Christ (of His mercy infinite)
   i pray to see;and Olaf,too
   
   preponderatingly because
   unless statistics lie he was
   more brave than me:more blond than you
