I came across this The P2PJ 2001-December Archive by Thread, which archives an interesting conversation on [P2PJ] Web of trust for Internet content while digging around for graph theory and other comp.theory mucky muck.
This search came about tangentially after coming across a /. post about the USC mo-bio lab solving a 3-SAT (more) problem with DNA computing. USC News article: Engineering: Using ‘nature’s toolbox,’ a DNA computer solves a complex problem. My friend made a /. account to post some info. Will /.’s moderation system work and moderate it up (my long-time experience says no).
