Heads up!  Before you have a heyday accusing me of being a Republican Nazi
out to quash individual rights, think again.  I FULLY support the use of
PGP to secure PRIVATE messages from one person to another; but PGPing every
God Damned electronic document you ever generate does seem a bit excessive.

Also, right now the Internet is mostly open discussion; a full path & ID
key for *every* post is a *great* way for the government to keep tabs on
people.
