I know all about PGP I just don't use it since most people I deal with on a daily basis have no idea what PGP is. I just didn't think it was practical for an email list. I believe it falls in the same category as the mile long signatures. It is something else, just like the move to a forum, that many old time techies would have a hard time adjusting to.
