A question for Klaas

"To trigger/fool/saturate/overload Echelon, the following has been picked automagically from a database:"
"mi5, FAS, AOL"

What do you mean by Echelon in this context? I was just wondering because in linear algebra yesterday I learned about row echelon form. (yeah, i'm one of those weird math freaks)

I believe that Echelon is one of those electronic monitoring programmes. Heres a site I haven't checked yet:

Also, note that Klaas posts via regular usenet, not this unicyclist.com, so he isn't gonna see your posts here...

As an aspiring cryptologist, I am ashamed not to have known that.
