Hi All,
	I would just like to point out (even if it involves joining Linux
encryption-internet censorship-gun control topics) that recently
intercepting mail resulted in house raids and arrests because of paintball
guns posted into Australia.

 The authorities will always find a way to control what they wish, and
criminal elements will always find a way around the controls.

 on another note.  anyone using satnet or like for their access?

	cya,	Andrew...
