Seven reasons you shouldn't compare your posts, or your use of PGP with
Bob (Proulx):-
Bob's PGP signature is valid - yours is not
You waste our time and bandwidth.
Bob uses signatures selectively - you don't
You could, but you enjoy upsetting people.
Bob uses unobtrusive signatures - you don't.
Bob's signature doesn't contain redundant material (fingerprint,
location) - yours does.
Bob's key validates his identity - yours does not.
I can verify that "Bob" is "Bob" through a chain of trust.
Bob uses PGP to verify the identity of the poster, and the integrity of
the message - you just make digital noise.
and then there's the difference in post content....
