Of course we all know who is posting these "reformatted" articles. Only one person on the list has been in the habit of doing so, until he got flamed so badly for it that he quit. Suddenly at that time they started appearing anonymously.
Clearly we have no one else to thank for it but the "peace"-nik, Karsten M. Self. Rumor has it that the unemployed wizard of wordwrapping is now the lead programmer on a project to re-implement PGP using standard crypto libraries. If the earnest cluelessness he manifested on this list is any sign, we can safely predict that this project is going exactly nowhere.
