Not only do many of us not do all this stuff (have you seen Eric Hughes signing his messages? How about John Gilmore?), but some people have decided to stop reading e-mail altogether. Donald Knuth, for example. A wise man. I'm happy that you PGP fans are thoroughly infatuated with using PGP for everything. Just knock off the clucking and sighing about those who don't see it as the end-all and be-all of today's communications. It reeks of fanaticism.
Interesting. I wonder what this says though... cypherpunks promote encryption, digital cash, dc nets, data havens... but wouldn't ever be caught actually using any of the above. Hell, that stuff is way too plebian. I'd rather advocate it that actually be in the uncomfortable position of following my own advice.
