- Mark is far from "a wimp who does nothing but talk talk talk." It's
- precisely because he has done more than talk that he has reason to be far
- more cautious than most of the people posting polemics to sci.crypt. And by
- using RSAREF for RIPEM, he now has the explicit blessing of RSA and PKP (cf.
- article <1992Dec13.025901.2625@msuinfo.cl.msu.edu>).
