That's no disgrace. Understanding public-key encryption takes, if not quite an *average* level of intelligence, at least a level that is by no means universal.
The only problem is that you still see fit to lecture the rest of us on how to handle email issues, despite admitting that you cannot understand something that is quite clear to the majority of those that take an interest.

Actually, I think this [EMAIL PROTECTED] *is* a fraud. Even the real Alan Connor must realise that the signature is actually generated from a hash of the message as well as the signing key, and will only verify on the exact message that it was generated from. If I took [EMAIL PROTECTED] out of my killfile, I'd probably start to see lots of posts screaming that some guy was trying to make him look like an idiot, and wishing there was some way of demonstrating that he wasn't writing those posts.
