Zapped by whom? And what did you say?
Note that the *discussion* of crypto has always been pretty open, especially
as regarding published algorithms (they still get touchy if you start chatting
about NSA-only code ;). Note that discussion can be quite detailed - the
source code of PGP was released as a book.. ;)
The *big* problem was (until lately) the inability to export *source code*
or *object code* for crypto software.
