I'm in two minds about PGP on here.

On the one hand I don't mind the idea that people sign messages to *try*
and confirm the message is from who you think it is, though I see a few
that register as invalid (not just untrusted, but "the message may have
been modified in transit warnings" occur).

Then on the other hand, each time I come across a signed message I face
a long what while gnupg tries to fetch the public key to go with the
message.  That process is none-too-quick, and grinds to a halt if I'm
reading mail while YUM (for example) is doing stuff in the background.

I read messages from the public lists.
