McCandlish Retiring

scubacuda writes "According to Wired, Stanton McCandlish, the Internet's "first full-time activist" (and previous employee of Electronic Frontier Foundation), is retiring. McCandlish is famous for using the comp.org.eff.talk newsgroup and EFFector mailing list to spread the word about the threat of the notorious Clipper Chip (Clipper Chip glossary here) and started the wildly popular "blue ribbon" free-speech campaign."
