From another message I sent out on another list, pardon the tone, it was
in a heated and quite idiotic debate...
"You want to get worked up, go read up on Echelon sometime. For those who
don't know what it is Echelon is a multi-national system to spy on each other
citizenry. It tracks satellite as well as land communications. The Australians
have confirmed that it exists and the US Congress has gotten refusals to
divulge information from, IIRC, the CIA which means it is confirmed that the
US was involved as well."

I can speak here about one topic and also speak on another list about
another highly volatile topic. Maybe I want my identity on that list to
remain semi-anonymous so it isn't obvious to people who is sending it for
whatever reason. The serial defeats that.
The point isn't what one wants to do with it, the point is it should be
possible so people can do what they want with it.
