checks

re paying a reasonable license fee, I wonder if RSA would cash my check for (say) $10 if I wrote on the check that it was for a license for whatever they might claim on PGP.

RSA might try to cash such a check, but if their bank is smart they won' t accept it. A check is not negotiable if it contains a condition.

Much as I respect you Eric, I direct your attention to the myriad of "checks" being sent out by AT&T and MCI, to name a few offenders. These bear the legend: "endorsement of this check constitutes your acceptance of <foo> as your long distance carrier." Weasels. --Strat
