Top post here on purpose. Hey g. Would you, could you, do me, and others, a favor? Please? Either do as you are supposed to do when using GnuPG to sign your emails and *publish' your *public key* to a keyserver so that my system, and others systems, do not have to look for your *public key*, and fail, with every one of your posts to this list. Your *public key* is supposed to be *public*. That's why it is named *public key*. It is your *private key* that you keep *private*. Or just stop signing the darn posts. Please g. One or the other.
