From: "Timothy C. May" <tcmay@netcom.com> Date: Wed, 30 Nov 1994 13:14:36 -0800 (PST) I suspect fewer than 1% of all messages have their sigs checked. What do you mean? If you mean that fewer than 1% of the signed messages that are sent to cypherpunks, you're almost certainly incorrect. I read over 1% of the messages on this list and if a message is signed, with either a header signature or a big-ugly-block signature, it's checked before I get to read it. If you count seperate deliveries as seperate messages then you're almost certainly correct, although it seems like an uninteresting data point. If you're talking about clear-signed messages sent to the net as a whole rather than just this list, I think it's an interesting question, but I can't imagine what you're basing your suspicion on.
