- Yeah, USENET is great. USENET and Capitol Hill are about the ONLY
- places where it's OK to say, with a straight face, "I don't know nuttin'
- about this stuff, but I'm gonna POST something public about it."
- In fact, there are lots of official policies about cryptography, you have
- all the government agencies in question backwards, and you clearly don't
- have any idea what you're talking about. If you were so conscious of the
- possibility that what you posted was "BS" - why did you post it, then?
