Thus, my point about routinely signing posts stands.

Sure, I was talking in general; my point only applies to those who make more 'government approved' posts than 'dangerous' ones. Of course there's still no guarantee that next year I won't be presented with an old signed post about something which was innocuous and is now hideously illegal. On the subject of deniability perhaps we should all publically state that we've forgotten the passphrase to some of the encrypted files we have lying around and see if that works in court if we ever end up there. I know I have a couple of secret keys whose passphrases I've forgotten and had a few files which I may have deleted. Mark
