Well, people do get pushed to extreme measures when protecting themselves from the attack. And 0,5 community seems to be bent on sabotaging the work done by the developers so far. I wouldn't support identifying any of the 0,5 posters in public, since some of them can actually get into trouble, but it would be nice if somebody can go on 0,5 and do traffic analysis on the Frost keys and then sending private message to people with their ip address. - -- http://freedom.libsyn.com/ Voice of Freedom, Radical Podcast http://freeselfdefence.info/ Self-defence wiki http://www.kingstonstudents.org/ Kingston University students' forum "None of us are free until all of us are free." ~ Mihail Bakunin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGLRFouWy2EFICg+0RAn+nAJ45HHF+LfFpNl6gXPmugraqTyW4RgCfUugG JkiXlGEysjQ4YhsUvzgG9Gw= =sfX7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
