First: Drop OE like the turd it is.
Second: apt-get install signify.
This (and the similar 'sigrot') are signature rotation tools. Signify, in
particular, allows for weighting the sigs to be rotated through.
Some may also note that I take the "4 lines" guideline somewhat loosely,
though I try not to abuse this unless I feel the message is particularly
important. E.g.: below.

What Part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
The major problem facing social networks is that they scarf up personal
information far more efficiently than a Carnivore system. People really
aren't going to trust them if they view these start-ups as honeypots for
future marketroids to reap everything we didn't want them to know. Let
alone allow a passing hacker to scarf up this potential archive of great
exploitable value.
