G'day Greg, Harry et al,
I'm afraid that I, as did Harry, wandered down those pages Greg
suggests.
And came out the other side just as ignorant.
Lacking Harry's courage to exhibit my stupidity, I asked Snowy.
I am now a little wiser about the aims, but not an awful lot.

I have little paranoia, and even less need to hide my activities - as
yet!
Harry, I just wanted to be a part of this signing because it seemed like
fun.
But in all honesty I really do not understand the NEED for all of us to
have gnupg.
Unless its to dominate the market with an Open Source application, so
keeping Redmond out?

My peers seem to be spending their time 'signing' silly bits of badly
written chain mail about some war or other that might, or might not,
exist. Ho hum.
cheers Tony
