 Just a note to clarify the earlier post from me about Joe
Abernathy's SJ case articles---
I had the same impression of Joe's early work about our world
that many of you who wrote back to me surprised did..... in
fact I used him in my HoHoCon address as an example of why we need
better press relations, to eliminate that 'hacker hysteria' type
of press coverage.
    After the presentation he came up to me and we had a long chat
about the slant of his articles. I came away under the impression
that, like us all, he is climbing a learning curve on these issues.
his latest stuff is about as pro-eff as an impartial big-city-paper
reporter can get away with. I think he is aware that too hysterical
a tone is not only inaccurate but dries up his best sources --- us.
   it also seems that his editor likes to sell papers, but that
reasonable discussion of cybercivil liberties do not cause them to 
leap off the stands. Hence, mayhap, some of his earlier pieces....
Let's give this guy another chance, I think he is learning quite
fast. And even if it was normal interchange between tense attorneys,
I really like the idea of the SS attorneys being 'shaken', just
on principle.
