I have noticed that in order to reply to their posts some users on this list require that I provide a "PGP passphrase" .. whatever that may be.
I would gladly comply .. but I have no idea what that "PGP passphrase" is and how I can obtain it. Someone just asked a question to the "community".. So, I try to help, right? .. I try to give them some kind of answer, right? .. and now that I have painstakingly put together something that may help them and I'm about to post it.. 20 minutes of my time, could be .. and I try to post.. Well guess what .. I'm bloody stuck .. because of course I have no f***ing idea what their "PGP passphrase" is in the first place. Say .. this guy just got hit by a bullet in the arm or something .. and I'm trying to help .. so he asks me .. man .. where's the closest hospital.. so I says .. well you head south and make a right on the turnpike and when you get to the second traffic light you make a left and it's right there on the right handside.. and then _he_ says .. hmmm.. very interesting.. but ... what's the passphrase?? Folks, how can I identify _before_ I waste my time on a detailed reply who the "PGP passphrase" people are and just ignore them? Am I mistaken .. or are the "PGP passphrase" wise guys another ilk of trolls & spammers that should right away be BANNED from this list and every other list and restrained to "PGP passphrase land" for trying to look "knowledgeable" and "important" and waste everybody's time in the process .. or I am totally missing something and is there any good reason they should have the right to demand that I provide a "passphrase" in order to post to a list that as far as I understand is open to the general public?? Could anyone explain why a subscriber to the list who as far as I know has no higher privilege than myself should have the ability to ask me for a "PGP passphrase" in the first place? Does not make any sense to me. Please advise. Thanks, CJ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
