Is it all over for PGP?

After a full eight month hibernation [I show his last post to be
Christmas Day....], SternFUD returns. I guess WhyTooKay did NOT do
him in. (Or he's just recovered....)
To no one's surprise, his return is to attack his old foe, PGP.
I guess he just could not swallow his glee over reading about their
error.
Now the question: is this post an aberration, or will we see a new
cycle of his "I can post faster than you can.." behaviour?
Time will tell.

It would seem that DeNile is not just a river in Africa.

In another post, in a far distant newsgroup, I had seen someone's .sig
say "Denial isn't just a river anymore", and I was wondering what on
Earth they were talking about.

Just a very bad pun.
