- I disagree with the usage of pgp/gpg clearsigning for routine
newsgroup messages
- in this case, the moz news server stamps an NPH which consistency is
quite adequate to connect/attach the regular persona Was Greywolf to the
new persona Wolf K., ie NNTP-Posting-Host: 174.92.64.254
- an essential element in the concept of identity verification is a
web of trust to attach such as a key ID and its associated public key to
an identity -- it is useless/misguided for Wolf or Lu Wei to clearsign
something if no one reading is holding the appropriate public key
obtained by way of a proper web of trust
- that being said, I believe there ARE (other/elsewhere) appropriate
places and usages for the use of gpg/pgp clearsigning
AND
- your sig delimiter is b0rken, it should be dash dash space
x-posting this to .general and f/ups there as a conversation on this
philosophy isn't directly related to Tb support
