[SIGCIS-Members] Identity Systems on Computer Networks

[Cassius Adair]

Hi D.K., I'm really interested in seeing these materials too! I'm writing
about this material from a trans perspective-- I've done a little work on
anonymizing servers on Usenet, but I'm really curious about the FidoNet
stuff especially!

Thanks so much,
Cass
