See the thread > MSP on comp.mail.misc for the latest version. > I know, I'm late on this one (for all those who wish this thread would end,) but PGP is considered very appropriate on Usenet - wander into any of the news.* hierarchy (one of the Big-Eight hierarchies) and you will find all manner of posts, particularly on posted reports, PGP or GPG signed to indicate that they are authoritatively from who they claim to be. This is particularly the case in the news.admin groups, where spoofing of emails has been a problem in the past. PGP/GPG is something I value on posts here as it reflects that I am not getting someone from Microsoft or SCO pretending to be someone regular and trusted on this list, offering *unhelpful* advice in their stead. -- Mark L.
