Yes, please. Don't feel badly that you were coerced, I'm sure we understand untenable positions. But keeping the nature of the coersion secret can only encourage it. Of course, by the lack of a reason, we can only assume that whoever 'it' was, it was 'big' enough to either scare you or threaten you with some action if you talked... sdw -- Stephen D.

Now that there is a legal version of PGP, I see no reason why we couldn't set up a keyserver here at IO. If someone wants to do this, has the software, and has multiple clues to rub together (ideally someone with experience in managing a keyserver) they should contact me. -- ---------------- /\ Douglas Barnes cman@illuminati.io.com / \ Chief Wizard (512) 447-8950 (d), 447-7866 (v) / () \ Illuminati Online metaverse.io.com 7777 /______\
