The person who objects to pgp trash is different from the person
with the nym account. The person with the nym account hasn't
posted for awhile. But objections to pgp have not stopped.

The objections to pgp will continue until those who use pgp are
gone. Already there are far fewer pgp trash trolls posting to this
group and the group is much better off for it.

Normally, I would avoid feeding the troll but I think it is worth pointing
out to others that those regulars who use pgp who have not been posting much
recently have been scarce because they have other things to do. Usenet is
one of those things you do when you don't have anything better at the time....

Shh! Don't let on that there's anything in meatspace! Better to keep the
trolls here, nice and safe in the bozo bins.
