Oh, no. I've been found out. No, I'm not posting because I think PGP keys on everything non-essential is a waste of time. No, I don't think that PGP is great for private documents. No, I don't think PGPing looks graphically gross. Actually, I'm a paid shill for Rush Limbaugh in a secret society of Republican Nazi who want Rush to be our next Furer and we see PGP as blocking his most rightious advance to world leader. PGP *must* be stopped at all costs! I chant: "For the emperor Rush!" as I plunge into my suicide Internet attack on the evil PGP proponents! - John Cooley ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- __)) "Glass ceilings?
