  Thanks, updated.

  Man, what I'd give to have a chat one day with RTM. So many questions. :)

    As a cryptographer, I'd rather talk to RM senior -- but as an NSA alumnus, I don't think he'd want to talk to me. :-)

    Apply to YC, and if you make it to interviews you can get grilled by him in person.

      I seem to recall most exchanges going thusly: pg: Robert, do you have anything to add? rtm: No. Though he did talk during the interview. In this age of Twitter he's my hero.

      Wish I could but I don't fit the criteria. But thanks, your offer is much appreciated.
