I'm not worried; I'm just curious if it had been analyzed at all, since the
topic of the list has once again strayed into the supposedly-forbidden realm
of discussing the effectiveness of crypto algorithms and products with this
Meganet nonsense. I've seen people spanked so many times by the same people
who proceed to post drivel like this on CodherPlunks that I thought I'd
contribute yet another one to see if the list.cops are still listening.
So much for CodherPlunks.
