I don't respond to Kent, and most of the time delete his articles after
reading only the first few lines. I hope that one day he will say
something more profound that his usual trolls.

Back when Sternlight joined this mailing list briefly and started trolling
people with his stupid and ignorant rants, I repeatedly asked everyone not
to respond to his trolls on-list. When Sternlight was ignored, he left.
He might have had something interesting to say (he knows a lot more about
crypto than Timmy - still not much) but he chose not to.

Timmy is just lying. I'm not disrputing this mailing list - quite the
opposite, I played a signficant role in saving it from censorship.
Detweiller knows much more than Timmy about cryptography and is a
victim of his censorship.
