Didn't I write "USUALLY"? But what you say about backend processing is
Well, I did ask you for one of these "usual" signature examples where a signature authentication is not required.
the messages with pgp keys is more meaningful than you just writing your name below every message. Because anybody can write any name below the message, but nobody other than me can pgp sign a message with key id A6FEF696. If you want a proof that the name mentioned on the key A6FEF696 is really Nitesh Mistry, you are always welcome to meet me and I can give all the documents in the world to prove it (and no I won't bite you ;) ).
The point from day one is that it carries no additional meaning in a mailing list context; all you are doing is reducing the S/N. If you cannot grasp that, why bother?
In any case, I don't want to continue this argument any further as I mentioned in the previous mail. I do understand how a geek code or a pgp signature add to someone's geekness (irrespective of whether they are contextually appropriate or not). So carry on.
