I don't want to limit anyones choices. ~ In my chess example, dirtbags used the community to try their schemes out on folks. It would be nice to have a chess (or whatever) community that used something like the web of trust in PGP to help filter out such nonsense. If you abuse the privilege, then "whoever" removes their seal of approval from your key. Maybe like financial institutions do with a credit report, but it would be a kind of "trust" report. You can't enter game room A because that community only wants to deal with <insert your code of ethics here>. But this may create more problems than it solves. I suppose if there were an easy answer it would already be available to us. - -- - -Eric http://caffeinated.webhop.net/ "Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think."
