This thread makes me sick. It = >also makes me very glad that there are internet listservers which = >allow unexpurgated opinions in spite of the pitiful wining of certain >= individuals. Any attempts to require PGP or other such nonsense = >should be resisted with the strongest possible means. There are two separate issues here that you're melting together a little too closely... #1) Free speech - I agree wholeheartedly - no one should be censored. It's too bad the sysops on compuserve buckled under. I've received a few complaints about George on cavers too but, he's NOT the only person I've received complaints about. I have NO intention of censoring him, or anyone else, regardless of what they say on diving. I cannot speak for what JR will do with techdiver though. #2) Authentication of postings - whether via PGP or some other password scheme, the reduction of fake email is an important goal. I AM working toward an authentication scheme that will remove the crazy postings. It will be a little while before I put it in place and then it will be phased in over a short period. More will be posted when it's closer to implementation. I just don't want a discussion about this to take place on techdiver OR cavers, whatever gets implemented WILL be put in place when it's ready and it will be what *I* decide on and can reasonably do, period. If you have any specific comments or concerns about this send them to me personally, NOT on the list!!! Nuff said... -Carl-
