Rob,
I'm certain many people who want privacy most did not reply to the poll,
just as you didn't. The last count showed 76% of respondents had a single
primary choice: privacy. If you have any reason to believe that somehow
only those who disagree with you responded and those who agree didn't,
please tell us.
The seven years you've been involved with PEM are very valuable. Without
your efforts and those of others like you, we wouldn't be as far along as
we are.
I'm Director of R&D for CyberCorp, a software firm. Of course my identity
is authentic, but you have no way to know that. You'll just have to deal
with the ideas here, or not, as you choose. BTW, who in the world is Dan
Berstein?
The WELL is a commercial service. CyberCorp has to pay them money. Unless
people pay for their DOCKMASTER accounts, the accounts are gratuities.
Rob, the first half of your message was meaningful. Please send future
flames by personal mail, rather than wasting the time of people here.
Doug
