Is the OpenPGP model still useful?

[Marcio B. Jr.]

Dear Doug,
I don't know what "IDOYTM" is supposed to mean, "and am" afraid I'm
not enough-of-a-teenager to get really concerned with that.

If the existence of big fans justifies quality, Amy Winehouse would be
Teresa of Calcutta.

My question, which, I must emphasize for you, is a question — not an
assertion, was on mathematical coherence.


Regards,
