THAT'S MY WHOLE POINT.   (I've already seen the hate posts by Gary McGath
because I so vividly showed everyone how no one EVER bothers to verify PGP
keys even when the post is claimed to be forged.  I'll say it again: PGP
on trivial posts is a waste of everyone's time, looks ugly and no one *ever*
bothers to check it.  PGP on private messages, legal documents, sensitive
material is not only good -- it's GREAT!!!)

I fully understand the emotional investment you & Gary must have in PGP
because you're promoting it so much.  Statements like mine that hint at PGP
not being appropriate for every post must appear that I'm totally against
PGP, and, therefore, must have some evil hidden agenda that involved getting
rid of PGP.  This isn't the case.

Just like industrial tools: use the right software for the right job!  :^)
