You guys rock.  Reminds me of the early '90s and the cypherpunks list
which introduced me to crypto for the masses :-).

I'm getting my pubkeys ready.  There may be a market for new bumper sticker:

old: Keep honking.  I'm reloading
new: Keep sniffing.  I'm loading my key pairs.

Wasn't there some talk of a PGP key signing or tutorial at an
installfest some months back?  I finished graduate school last month
and am starting to come out of that shell.

ymmv,
C.G.
