[Discuss] Relevance of PGP?

[sweetser at alum.mit.edu (Doug)]

Every September, I have skipped the meeting.  Since I am just a nerd
with a few public web sites and an open source project, I don't feel a
need to encrypt anything.  I would be interested to hear why people in
BLU uses encryption.

Even without the fingerprint, I would have accepted this was from
Jabber.  I guess I am naive. There are Jabber impersonators out there
on the net.
