Agreed. Those who claim that a PGP signature dilutes the otherwise high
information-to-noise ratio on Usenet have, I suspect, some purpose other
than the one they're claiming. The more we use PGP routinely, the more
people will notice it, the more people will use it, and the harder it will
then be for the government to ban encryption.

In another message you mentioned that Al Gore is leading the fight against
encryption. I'd appreciate it if you could E-mail me particulars on this
point.
