Note: If you see a nonsense enclosed between lines
BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE
END PGP SIGNATURE
then this message is digitally signed using OpenPGP compliant software.
You need an appropriate plugin for your email client or other OpenPGP
compliant software in order to verify the signature. However, the concept
of computer insecurity implies digital signature is not absolute proof of
identity.
