Glad to see someone else said that; I always have to wonder what 
the hell the person doing that hopes to gain other than to show 
people s/he figured out how to use PGP.  I wonder if they'd be 
impressed if I stuck my Thawte notice on the end of my posts? 
Hmm, then I could even encrypt it!  Suppose I'd look real 
important?
