I am still confused. What standard? And who is this "you" being
referred to? What matter are you talking about, now? (this seems like a
new term not in the original statement).
I must be very obtuse. I think we are talking about signing gpg
keys. And I _think_ you are talking about standards of trust some
"You" is either able to apply, or is "allowed" to apply. I don't know
who this you is, and I don't know of any standards body that can tell
people what standard leel of trust (whatever that means) an individual
is allowed to apply on "the matter".
Anyway, if you think I am too dumb to understand what you are
talking about, we can stop here. But as it stands, I have no idea what
you are saying here.
