Now just a cotton-pickin' minute. I'm not responsible for engaging
you or anyone else in extended arguments and discussions. You posted
to CodherPlunks on 8 Jan, and I replied the same day with what I thought
were cogent arguments about why the name you chose was misleading and
counterproductive. Others followed and nobody agreed with you. The
fact that I was the first in this forum to call your attention to the
problem does not obligate me to argue it at length with you.
I seldom read sci.crypt these days, but within a few days of your 8
Jan message I visited there again to find the same debate raging, and
that you had already gotten plenty of feedback on your choice of names.
Leave me out of your blame game!
