For some individuals, yes. For others, not so much. While traffic analysis is a tremendously powerful tool it does not apply to all parties to equal degrees. It was also part of why I used the metaphor that I did. Malaria and cholera are two different diseases that often are found in the same populations and some of their symptoms mimic each other. One is a mosquito-borne parasitic disease, and the other is caused by unsafe drinking water. :) _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
