I might be reading the wrong thread, but I've read

There are some 11 posts to that thread, none of which seem to actually
say anything substantive. I would have thought that a serious debate
would have been better than having "fun" over this clash with an
authority figure organisation. The FBI may have been wrong this time,
but that doesn't mean they won't try again with another argument, and
it doesn't mean that some of the concerns raised shouldn't be
considered in this or other contexts.
You were expecting something substantive from foundation-l?
If the FBI try something else, we'll deal with it then. We can't do
anything about it without knowing what they'll try, and it doesn't
seem wise to speculate about what they could try on the public list -
we might give them ideas! I considered the concerns raised and
rejected them. If you think there is actually something worth
discussing, please speak up.
