-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
A checker that merely checks if a signature looks like
a signature merely makes cryptography look stupid, like
a power ranger suit.
Well, the message you posted doesn't look like a PGP signature.
It has similarities, but wouldn't pass the recognizer.
As I've said before, there is partial benefit to an incomplete
recognizer. I do not want to abandon this benefit merely because
others are more difficult to obtain.
I don't understand why a recognizer set up at a single location makes
all cryptography look stupid.
