[Python-cuba] Going forwards

[kirby urner]

Thank you Rosario.

Please do not think me rude for responding in only nine minutes mas o meno,
but I actually did do considerable homework before the phone rang last time
and was starting to develop a picture.

So I respond quickly not because I'm uncaring but because due diligence is
part of my practice (Steve's too).

This may sound off topic, but it's true and I think relevant.  I'm
currently reading an excellent 1990s book called:

The Cryptographic Imagination:
Secret Writing from Edgar Poe
to the Internet

by James Rosenhem
Johns Hopkins University 1997

I was just reading yesterday in his last chapter, 'Ciphering the Net' about
precisely these big blow-ups where the question of identity is seriously in
question e.g. "how do I know all these warring people aren't heads of the
same medusa?".

That our Internet by its very nature enables and amplifies various new
forms of conflict is topical I think.

Our collective goal, as posters to a specific Python.org listserv with a WG
mandate, would be to stay topical.

So far I'd say we have, in that none of us can change history and the
various imbroglios (storms, kerfuffles) that occur do have their impacts.
