It must be getting on for a year since anyone even allegedly forged any posts from the poor, innocent, persecuted Chapman. Yet he is *still* selfishly using PGP. I wonder how many needless bytes have been downloaded by everyone in total thanks to the 17 lines of guff which surround his every message, even "one"-liners? I wonder how many people have killfiled him because of this? And I wonder how long, without a single Clive Georgery, he will carry on using PGP? Presumably indefinitely?

As (I think) Judith said, those who insist on endlessly using PGP for no real reason would seem to have an inflated sense of self-importance. One is only supposed to use PGP if it's really important to be able to prove it's really you. Of course, Chapman only started using PGP because people kept thinking that the unhinged anti-motorist rants posted in his name really were from him...but why were they thinking that when he's so obviously "not anti-motorist"? You can see why it bothered him that people thought that anyway...not good when he wants to keep his hatred of cars "under wraps"....

If he were a reasonable person then, by now, he would have started posting without PGP, at least until another "forgery" appeared. But no, he'd rather continue to add to everyone's bandwidth usage than run the risk of anyone thinking that even a single further "forged" anti-motorist rant was from him. He's taking this "pretending not to hate cars" thing really seriously, isn't he? No-one who really didn't hate cars would be so bothered about it, you'd think....
