It probably is not worth the aggravation, but ignorant, both poltically and
as to the charter of cypherpunks, assholes like Detweiler need to be set
straight. Since I doubt Detweiler is open to discussion --small minds
rarely are, we might _very_ politely suggest to the editors of Time, NYT,
and a couple others that Detweiler is not only misinformed, but that he
is not open to discussion. Enough _polite_ letters to the editors can do
wonders.
