- By now, many of you have seen that crack and ufc-crypt was posted to
- comp.sources.misc by aem@aber.ac.uk (Alec David Muffett). This was
- *not* an error, this was an enhancement... :-)
-
- As of last night, Alec has become the backup moderator for comp.sources.misc.
-
- He is to be the focal point for any postings of crypto sources. He is
- located in the UK and as such does not have the limitations that we have
- here in the US.
-
- I am sure that I will hear about how it is unnecessary to do this but
- it has been done to assure that there are no silly restrictions on
- posting sources to the world. This changes the game from exporting
- to importing. Our government has no trouble importing this type of
- technology... :-)
-
- I am sure that flame fests will start and we will hear those that
- say you should never make these types of sources available to the
- general community at large. Wrong!! The bad guys already have these
- tools. The general community should be able to protect themselves by
- verifying that their front line of defense is solid. They need access
- to these types of tools. (hint, hint.. get them, compile them, use them..)
-
- Alec has agreed to accept crypto/encryption based submissions and will
- be coordinating with me to assure a continued smooth flowing newsgroup.
- Please help me in thanking him for volunteering.
-
- (clap, clap, clap...)

- Please send newsgroup-related mail that are *not* submissions to
