Seriously, arguments about flooding the key registration system with 10 keys, or 10^10 keys, fail to take into account the likely fees, paperwork, filing requirements, etc. And the real effect is, as I have written about it elsewhere, to limit the use of crypto in general, not to cover all situations. A chilling effect, indeed. -- .......................................................................... Timothy C.
