On a list, this question is quite valid, but if I'm not mistaken (and it's quite likely that I am) your question is a general one. Well, I fail to see how in a general context it is very relevant. All people should always be concerned about security. That's my opinion, you're welcome to disagree, and that's quite right of you do to so. The point of my previous e-mail was -meant- to be technical, and once again speaking from a technical stand point; what signing a message or encrypting one for that matter costs me is about 2 seconds after tapping the enter key. What does it cost for others? Well since I really try to be as friendly as possible to other individual's computing abilities (speaking of which if this conversation continues perhaps we can move to just one on one discussion as I really do believe it's healthy), I attempt to make everything as non-complex as possible. I only send in text, I keep attachments to a minimum; so on and so forth. Only those other people can say what it costs them. Alex (not bein' argumentative)
