>>Can't be too much stigma attached to it - a former leader of the Klan is serving as a Senator right now, and is considered by his democrat peers to be the "conscience of the senate". Go figure!
That would be Robert Byrd of (the great state of) West Virginia. At least he's apologetic about it, not that I like the guy. >From Wikipedia: "In the early 1940s, when Byrd was 24 years old, he joined the Ku Klux Klan, which he had seen holding parades in Matoaka, West Virginia, as a child. His father had also been a Klan member[2]. Byrd was unanimously elected to be the leader, known as the Exalted Cyclops, of his local chapter." <snicker>Exalted Cyclops</snicker> Larry Seltzer eWEEK.com Security Center Editor http://security.eweek.com/ http://blog.eweek.com/blogs/larry%5Fseltzer/ Contributing Editor, PC Magazine [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
