What's this? But seriously what is this? I use GnuPG and am quite fond of it. I've a pubkey.asc up my website, and I use gpg to encrypt some files and my backup tarballs. PGP is not a mail tool, it's for encrypting strings. Yhis guy does not know what it is and cries for having done much ado for nothing. Key signing parties? I certainly have better things to do. Just generate a key and put it on mit key server, call it done.
And he complains he don't get encrypted mail. So what, I'd rather be happy. It'll be useful when it'll be w/ email, and has many other uses otherwise.
He clearly knows what it is. He isn't ranting against PGP he is ranting against the WoT. If you got an encrypted email from Linus Torvalds, how would you verify it was him?
