Yes, I agree we should try and keep the discussion to crypto
legislation. 
However fascinating the topic we should try not to wander into general
cryptology/tempest/pgp on this list.  Thank you Jeffrey for suggesting
it.

A large number of important people subscribe to this list and lurk in
the
background listening to what we say.  Not only are there leading
academics
and lawyers, there are also CESG, DTI and government representatives
subscribed.  For this reason I think that it is important that we try
and stick to the topic in hand.  

I find it hard to stop threads (free speech thing really) and hope
that the list will be self regulating in future.

Thanks,
	Ian
