Yea, like I'm against the right to send private messages.  This wasn't a
private message, but a publically posted reply.  All the extra PGP stuff
did was clutter up his post.  That is, if he was posting sensitive info
I could understand -- but putting all this PGP overhead on trivial public
posts is a serious waste of bandwidth in my opinion.  (All it does is clutters
up the posts with info nobody ever bothers to check.)

As an ACLU member I fully support the right to privacy, etc.; but encryption
keys on public post like "I like sushi.  It's yummy food.  I wish I could
have it every night." seems like overkill to me.
