You are arguing that the Governments censorship is merely a force of nature, and that people posting news are jeapordizing your system. This is absurd. The people posting news are merely activating a perl script; this in no way jeapordizes your system. The jeapordy comes from your Government. >ask steve jackson if he will allow his system to become the international >archive for PGP. I can't say without asking him, but as an Internet service provider he is allowing pgp to be moved around the net across international borders. We don't need more ftp sites in the States, we need more ftp sites in places like Canada.

He is thrilled with our efforts to break clipper, and if it comes down to a showdown about freedom of speech, though I can't speak for him, I'm willing to bet he's on our side. -- Clay Shirky
