I have received a fair bit of unfounded criticism for using my PGP security on usenet messages - both in newsgroups, via my personal email, and also via my blog at http://www.chapmancentral.co.uk/blog/. (Please note that you can now receive my blog via RSS feeds or by automatic email on a daily basis if you wish to - I know that many of you do so already).

A number of people have said that it is a total waste of time using PGP on usenet as a simple "That post was a forgery" response is all that is needed, rather than a check of the PGP; I must admit I think that you could be right. Someone pointed out that it was only myself and Simon Brooke who used the process on a regular basis; and I must say I was not impressed with the implications of that statement. I thought that Ian Jackson was possibly the only person sensible enough to check my PGP signature on a regular basis - and that he always checked them.

However, when I check the access logs to my pgp-public.key web pages, I see that they have only been accessed 7 times in the last 3 years, and I think that those may have been me testing the system.

I have therefore decided that rather than continuing to alienate people (further) I will stop using it with immediate effect after this post.

Any posts using my PGP from now on, will be obvious forgeries.
