He said he was he. Is it important?
I understand pgp/gpg/signing an _important_ document or transfer of
money, etc. I don't understand the need for security for chit-chat.
When I talk to a stranger or a new acquantience, I do not request
presentation of his drivers-license and/or social security card.
I believe that +95% of the secure signing of mail list traffic is
unwarranted and completely unnecessary baggage.
Note: I did not say there was not a need.
