Well I just got off the phone with Special Agent Jeff Gordan, my testimony
has been postponed until next Thursday so travel arrangements can be made.

This is the number I have:

Mar 10, 1999
1999R00428
GJ 98-1
S/N #20806

I have been commanded to bring: (their words not mine)

"Any and all documents, records, computer files, or electric messages,
containing, referencing or involving CARL JOHNSON, TOTO, TRUTHMONGER, BUBA
ROM DOS, or CYPHERPUNKS."

I don't archive list traffic over a month and I do not keep personal
e-mail over a week. Other than a copy of Toto's Web World story I don't
have anything left of his posts on my system (they are available from
online archives anyway).

Seems like a waste of taxpayers money to have me go out there, at least I
will get a free trip to Seattle. :)
