But just because a message does not have a pgp signature does not
mean that the message is not genuine. You have the logical
abilities of a three-year old if you think that the absence of pgp
proves that a particular posting is not genuine.

BTW: your posting contains pgp trash as well.

pgp use on usenet is nothing more nor less than a pretentious, and
very anal, affectation. pgp serves no useful purpose in usenet and
since it produces a signature longer than the usenet standard of 4
lines, the use of pgp in usenet violates accepted norms of
netiquette.

cordially, even to pgp trash trolls,
