considering that person has an account that is a year old w a fair amount of comments , prob safe to say it ' s not actually a throwaway . don ' t really understand why you ' re going after him w a straw man argument . it ' s the holidays , let ' s just all get alonggggg <| sep |> Yeah , this use of PGP is crippled for part of the same matterwithpgp PGP in general doesn ' t get the use some of us think it should . But besides this difficulty of distributing the public key . If it ' s too much more difficult than the users are used to dealing with , for something like this ? I ' m sure I don ' t have to say anything about how hard it is to make people care enough about encryption to actually bother . If it isn ' t easy , the only people who will do it will be the ones who were itching for an excuse anyway . Hell , I like PGP but I ' m not even going to bother taking the steps to actually verify the signatures on most of the posts here . This guy is on it though .
