Maybe you should limit yourself to decaffeinated until you stop 
hearing those voices. How many cycles have we gone through so far of 
PGP being made available as binaries with source code being made 
available as soon as the goofy farce of publication, shipping, 
scanning, and verifying make it possible for anyone to examine and 
compile the source? They've proven to be reliable while you don't 
even have anything as permanent as a PGP key. Despite my tone here I 
do agree that availability of source code is not optional and I will 
verify it. Heck, I'd even like to buy at least one of the books this 
time if I can locate one. I know Printers, Inc published the last set 
so when I was in Palo Alto I tried to track it down but the people at 
the Printers, Inc store had no idea what I was talking about. Oh well.
