Heh. Actually, I was only partially sarcastic. I've been on a philosophical thought path about trust and related issues recently. But yeah, cryptographic signing would make the whole concept of the wiki kind of moot given the current state of things, imo. We do want in some measure to require a slightly higher trust level that the edit coming in is valid, though, such as simple authentication or something. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: Gimme two brains on drugs, over easy, and bacon...
