I care not that you or your biometric twin wrote the prose attributed to you. I'm more interested in the content than the source. This mail list hasn't a brain so I use my own to sort out which is real and which is an illusion. I don't need or want your or any else's pgp/gpg mime content filling my archives of this or any list. It contributes nothing except consumption of disk space. It is without value. It is the very essence of bloviation. When I go back over it and look again I find the same wasted yardage of compublather. The proof? Here we are having this conversation and we're not at all confused about who the particpants are. I'm not filling my messages with pgp-mime, and I'm ignoring that which you are spewing and yet we're having this conversation. Need more evidence for it's purposelessness? I called nobody a wanker - I left that to the readers for self-identification. Did you self-identify as a wanker? If so, why? Rhetorical, of course. Merry Christmas, good cheer. dp _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
