That is false. Where on earth do you get off calling _me_ a
"troll?" I am most certainly not a "troll" sir. And the
unwarranted use of pgp has long been a violation of not only this
group's policy but usenet netiquette in general.

Nice try, little one. But there are at most about a dozen people
who use pgp in this group while _hundreds_ of posters (including
even yourself) do not use it. The fact that you don't seem to care
should not be confused with everybody else's feelings about it
which have been made clear in the official group policy.

Furthermore, the unwarranted use of pgp does not prevent anyone
from impersonating the pgp troll, should anyone be inclined to do
so.

The unwarranted use of pgp speaks for itself.
