On Nov 13 18:03, All heard the following from Jim Wenzel (jim.wenzel@grapevine.lrk.ar.us ): JW> PGP is readily available. As for being my friend. I have only JW> chatted electronically with the man once and had someone else JW> call to verify his existance. I will be talking to him again. JW> However, if I suggest that they bust the guy for using unlicensed JW> software am I not in effect 'pirating' by allowing PGP to be JW> downloaded? I cannot be sure if PGP is truly illegal. It really depends on how you interpet the licensing information. I tried to send him mail and got no reply. Let him know that skquinn@urchin.fidonet.org is trying to establish contact. JW> Normally, but, it is quite handy to store sensitive stuff JW> personally as well. What is normal for you may or may not be JW> normal for other folks as well. Encrypting to one's own public key works wonders. I do that over here myself. No additional pass phrase to forget either. Of course, you can always create your own key just for that purpose. JW> We can all stick our head in the sand here and say it won't / JW> shouldn't happen. The bottom line is there is maneuvering being JW> done now that will greatly effect us. I will not do so, that is for sure. Whether or not everyone else chooses to is another matter entirely. SKQ * Origin: Silver Mountain * HOUTX (1:106/7550)
