Yeah, I know. Mine went off when I got the voice mail. But, I'll give
'em the benefit of the doubt (for the time being). Apparently, Blackstar
is one guy and he's been working on this for a couple of years. He could
be misguided or he could be the next Whitfield Diffie, who knows. Crypto
breakthroughs have to come from _someone_, and they aren't always
necessarily the dudes in the think tanks and universities. We'll see
what shows up in the mail.
