That's what some people don't seem to understand -- they're posting to 
a mailing list where any assistance received depends on having everyone's 
good will, yet they insist on posting all that pointless garbage, making 
their emails really annoying to read.

Certainly we are all free to do as we wish, but sometimes getting along 
with others requires certain little sacrifices. :) 

In all the arguments people have made here in favor of pgp/gpg signing 
to the list, not one person even bothered to address the annoying chunk 
of non-human-readable text to which we are subjected, whether or not we 
are interested. In fact, the matter tends to get edited out in the pro-pgp 
replies. Guess what they really think is "screw you if you don't like it", 
underneath all the (rather silly) rationalizations. 

I used to have mutt configured to verify that crap, but then guess what 
happened? I learned that half the people using it do so incorrectly, so 
then you have all these error messages.... :\

What a waste.
