I think it best to pass over most of Mr. Sternlights remarks in silence.
The reader should compare my posting with his and see how they square up.
But I would just just like to follow up on his mention of Info-PGP Digest.
Info-PGP Digest (headerfile below) consists mostly of articles posted to
alt.security.pgp and sci.crypt, with a few independent submissions. It is
intended for persons interested in PGP who lack access to alt.security.pgp.
If you have access to this group, a subscription to Info-PGP would be
redundant. So, as to what kind of foolishness goes on there -- well, the same
that goes on here, I guess.
I think a recent issue even included Mr. Sternlight's confession of faith
in the moral uprightness of federal government agencies. \;-)
Cheers, and happy holidays to all, including Jim Bidzos and the good folks
at RSADSI/PKP!

Info-PGP is a digested mailing list dedicated to discussion of Philip
Zimmermann's `Pretty Good Privacy' (PGP) public-key encryption program for
MS-DOS, Unix, VMS, Atari, Amiga, SPARC, Macintosh, and (hopefully) other
operating systems. It is primarily intended for users on Internet sites
without access to the `alt.security.pgp' newsgroup. Most submissions to
alt.security.pgp will be saved to Info-PGP, as well as occasional relevant
articles from sci.crypt or other newsgroups. Info-PGP will also contain
mailings directed to the list address.
To SUBSCRIBE to Info-PGP, please send a (polite) note to
info-pgp-request@lucpul.it.luc.edu. This is not a mailserver; there is a
human being on the other end, and bodiless messages with "Subject:" lines
reading "SUBSCRIBE INFO-PGP" will be ignored until the sender develops
manners. To SUBMIT material for posting to Info-PGP, please mail to
info-pgp@lucpul.it.luc.edu. In both cases, PLEASE include your name and
Internet "From:" address. Submissions will be posted pretty well as received,
although the list maintainer / moderator reserves the right to omit redundant
messages, trim bloated headers & .sigs, and other such minor piffle. I will
not be able to acknowledge submissions, nor, I regret, will I be able to pass
posts on to alt.security.pgp for those whose sites lack access.
Due to U.S. export restrictions on cryptographic software, I regret that I
cannot include postings containing actual source code (or compiled binaries)
of same. For the time being at least I am including patches under the same
ukase. I regret having to do this, but the law, howbeit unjust, is the law.
If a European reader would like to handle that end of things, perhaps run a
"Info-PGP-Code" digest or somesuch, maybe this little problem could be worked
around.
I have received a promise of some space on an anonymous-ftp'able Internet
site for back issues of Info-PGP Digest. Full details as soon as they firm
up.
Oh, yes: ALL CONTRIBUTIONS CONSIDERED AS PERSONAL COMMENTS; STANDARD
