Not everyone enjoys publicity, or being overtly affiliated with a group such as this one. Even knowing about crypto, tends to make some suspicious, politics and dogma aside. > Don't take it personally though.

I like to think that my occupation, and education affords me a greater ranking than so, but that would require you all to know my credentials.. Which, no one here needs to know. So I can understand how I might appear to be abnormal from the majority here. > *Because* > it's a cryptography list.

My words would not have changed. Perhaps I would just be seen as ¨socially accountable¨ (reputationally - speaking) for any insightful or inappropiate comments. The same is true of a pseudonym. My reputation is on the line. Just not my real name. I do not wish to be publicly affiliated with this group (No offense) . I have my reasons for that. > Over and out. > > Regards, >
