Hey out there.  I guess I'm not the only one who's noticed that things
are a little quiet in this part of the net-world.  At first, I too
thought it was some sort of distribution failure but since I have seen
a few (very few) postings here of late, it must be something else.
Has everyone decided to chill out after the flame wars of a week or two
ago?  Does everyone (but me - how paranoid!) have some knowledge of
clandestine monitoring by various government agencies?  Has this 
newsgroup become yesterday's fad and everyone in the know moved on to
more exciting and stimulating areas?

By the by, I attended a DPMA meeting last week with my boss where an
FBI agent was speaking on computer crime and security.  For the most
part, the food was more interesting than the speech which consisted of
slides and a monologue on statistics from a survey done by the Florida
Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) in 1988 and published last year.
He did mention the Robert Morris case, but only in passing.
