I am going to call a halt soon to the question of the economics of
convincing people to work on DES/RC5 cracks, etc. I think that
information about where to get cracking software or how to participate
in one of the cracking runs is fine, but I'd like to back us off from
the metatopic, which, although interesting, is rapidly declining in
signal level...
