Congress wishes to set an example for us by not using crypto stuff like PGP themselves, being as it's the stuff of pedophiles and whatnot. -- //Dan -=- This message brought to you by djhoward@uiuc.edu -=- \\/yori -=- HOME PAGE! http://www.uiuc.edu/ph/www/djhoward/ -=- "On page 207 I finally learned how to check my E-mail with Pine!"

The reason political members ask for a postal mailing address is so that they can find out which physical district you represent. None of them respond very well without knowing this context.

Even mailing addresses don't identify the district. My snail-mail address is in a different county from where I live, for example. -- Phil Howard KA9WGN +-------------------------------------------------------+ Linux Consultant | Linux installation, configuration, administration, | Milepost Services | monitoring, maintenance, and diagnostic services. | phil at milepost.com +-------------------------------------------------------+
Trying to keep the signal to noise ratio down... (too late) - sorry I did identify myself as being from CANADA, living in CANADA. I was astonished that I could not get a response via email. Again, sorry for the noise... On Fri, 5 Sep 1997, blast wrote:
