Well, it is true that you have built up a reputation on the list. I am trying to do the same. Quite an interesting experience. It seems to me that we have an interesting dilemma here. If we are willing to sign a key based on an entity that we KNOW does not really exist, then what does a signature mean? You have been an active and productive participant on cypherpunks for quite some time now, so if that's what I'm saying by signing your key, then I would be willing to. Off line methods wouldn't work in this case because we aren't real. Something strange is going on in the word when nym's are signing each other's keys... I am going to register my public key as you suggested. If you send me a signed copy, I will add it to my keyring. Please send me your public key, and I will sign it for you. The world is becoming a more interesting place. Wonderer p.s. I believe something may be wrong with my pgp here at my oranization. I type: pgp -sat file -u wonderer +cleartext=on as someone on the list suggested, and this does not work. What command do you use to sign your messages? I will include a detached signature of this message below. -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: 2.3 iQBVAgUALM/wPh1kTJuroDD9AQEq5AH+Nxou8vx4F3JsDhSDvUpy6P0yvXz2Be/F Q32ZwM+AiBD/Sijb/XX3Z2jixDTWP/xs/lr2Iw1tmbK8RBWS4iZDLQ== =rjX8 -----END PGP MESSAGE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To find out more about the anon service, send mail to help@anon.penet.fi.
