I'm just curious whether I'm the only one who never reads these "digitally
signed and verified" messages that comes through from time to time.  As a
matter of policy, I sure don't trust the authors of my browser enough to
"click here to continue" -- which is how my browser displays those messages
after showing a full-screen fancy advertisement for the security of the
message.

If pressed, I might also confess to an inclination to boycott top-down
book-entry certification security schemes, which (I assume) is the security
model behind these messages.  If I'm wrong, it's because I haven't bothered
to look it up.

HTML spam, "digitally signed and verified", "click here for sexy women
without veils"  -- it's all much of a muchness to me, and it all goes in the
same bitbucket.  What's wrong with good old fashioned ascii?
