Yes, you are a "troll". An annoying pathetic bag of shit troll who
contributes nothing to this group whatsoever. Eat shit and die, you
pitious pustule of pestilent pond scum.

By all means, do it. Use pgp, if for no other reason than to irritate
our pathetic pgp troll.

If the pgp trolls would cease with the indiscriminate use of pgp
they wouldn't have to be constantly reminded. Don't blame _me_ for
the proliferation of pgp trash.

In any case, since we have started reminding the trolls that their
unwarranted use of pgp violates this group's policy many have
stopped using pgp. However, a stubborn few, with no consideration
for other posters, continue.

Signature verification. You'll see all kinds of garbage in the
illegal signatures.

And there is absolutely _no_ reason to use this "high security" in
this low security newsgroup, especially when most of the posters
using it are also using pseudonyms. The only thing pgp
accomplishes, beyond annoying the hell out of other posters, is
curtail the freedom of the poster who employs it. Only a real
moron would choose to use pgp in a frivolous circumstance.

And for the same reason that not all web pages begin with https://
in their address, pgp is inappropriate to this ng.

I believe that you will enjoy this web page:

(But it's still better to ignore the troll. It feeds on attention.)

IIRC, for full effect, there needs to be a double space after begin.
