Hash: RIPEMD160

I would like to propose another medium in which to discuss GnuPG
matters, albeit hopefully satisfactory to you.

A few friends of mine who run a small, stable IRC server have
graciously allowed me the opportunity to place a "#gnupg"
channel on the server.

The server is public, but has a small user-base and stable
uptimes. The operators are very knowledgeable and would be more
than happy to have a channel
which pertains to GnuPG discussion.

My idea is that this may be another convenient way in which to
discuss GnuPG, without the hassle of most large IRC servers
which are drowned in lag and thousands of users, without relying
solely on the mailing list.

If you are interested in this idea, feel free to reply with any
questions you might have.

Thanks in advance for your time,
